wollogo | I would arguee that VII is also correct. They key advantage of using multiplier based models or ratios is that you don't need to estimate the rate of return. |
octavianus | FCFE is not an equity based multiplier, it is CFO - Capital Expenditures discounted at cost of equity (k). Thus, discount rate/required rate of return is needed. |
