Q's chrysos

Nnaina7y ago
For unbundling The cash flows will grow by 8 % So the formula Fcf **(1+0.08)/ cost of capital – g …..isn’t it ?? But the answer is only using cost of capital as denominator …why are not we substracting g from cost of capital in denominator ?? And I have another confusion that the answer is not discounted Exam answer 435 * 1.08/0.1o = 4698 I did this 435 * 1.08/0.10-0.08 * 0.909 Would you please help me for ‘g’ and why not diiscounting ? Thanks Also for apv calculation on general the cost of debt used as a discount factor is a pre tax cost of debt always ??? M I right ? Or risk free rate alternate choice

The question says that cash flows will increase by 8% in the first year only and then stay fixed. Multiplying by 1/r always gives the PV of a perpetuity when the first flow is in 1 years time. Here, the first flow is in 1 years time - there is no need to discount again.
