Abstract

This technical note compares two methods of treating debt usage in discounted-cash-flow valuation of investment projects or companies. The note demonstrates that the approach using weighted-average cost of capital (WACC) and the approach using equity residual (ER) yield equivalent results if consistent assumptions are used. General features are illustrated with specific examples, including a spreadsheet.
