This paper presents a formal derivation of general expressions for Ke and WACC in perpetuities with constant growth, which do not make any assumption on what the proper discount rate is to be applied to the firm's tax shield, and are complemented with numerical examples of its application....

In this paper we propose an analytical solution to the circularity problem between value and cost of capital. Our solution is derived starting from a central principle of finance that relates value today to value, cash flow, and the discount rate for next period. We derive a general formulation...

Llano-Ferro (2009) proposes a solution to avoid 'significant errors' when the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) obtained by the standard formula leads to significant errors in Net Present Value of the Firm calculations; particularly in those that apply to perpetual cash flow series. In...

English Abstract: This practical paper recognizes the need for non-traded companies, most of them SMEs, (Small and Medium-size Enterprises), to have appropriate tools to address the definition and estimation of the cost of capital. This concept is critical to determine the feasibility of an...

Spanish Abstract: En este trabajo se plantea la necesidad de las empresas no transadas en bolsa, la mayoría de ellas, PYMEs, (Pequeñas y Medianas Empresas) de contar con herramientas apropiadas para abordar la definición y estimación del costo promedio ponderado de capital. Este concepto es...
