问题如下:
An analyst Smith recommend using a FCFF model to value Company A’s common stock instead of using a FCFE model because Company A has had a history of leverage changes in the past.
Smith’s recommendation to use a FCFF model to value Company A is:
选项:
A.logical, given the prospect of Company A changing capital structure
not logical because a FCFF model is used only to value the total firm
not logical because FCFE represents a more direct approach to free cash flow valuation
解释:
The FCFF model is often selected when the capital structure is expected to change because FCFF estimation may be easier than FCFE estimation in the presence of changing financial leverage.
老师,您好!
从答案解释来看,意思是杠杆改变的时候,用FCFF的方法对equity估值更简单,算出FCFF后再调整为FCFE,这样比直接通过FCFE估值方法要简单吗?还是就只是理解为将FCFF作为equity的估值?如果是后者的话,那就与FCFF表示企业的自由现金流而FCFE表示股东的自由现金流的含义相违背了。麻烦说明一下,谢谢!
