Free cash flow to the firm (FCFF), also known as "Cash Flow From
Assets" is used as a part of a Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) analysis to
obtain

The actual market value of the firm's assets.

The analyst's estimate of the market value of the firm's debt.

The actual market value of the firm's equity.

Correct! The analyst's estimate of the market value of the firm's assets.

Question 2 2.5 / 2.5 pts

A firm with both debt and equity have a required return called _______;
and the reason it is the appropriate required return is because

Correct!
Weighted average cost of capital, "WACC"; The assets are obtained via
"claims" which are the debt and equity of the firm. So a weighted average
of the claimants' required return become the firm's required return.

Yield to maturity (YTM); because debt is paid first in a bankruptcy situation,


so the debtholders' return is the only one that matters.

Required return to equityholders; Since the equityholders are the residual


claimant, they receive the important cash flows from the assets.

Beta; The assets are obtained via "claims" which are the debt and equity of
the firm. So a weighted average of the claimants' required return become
the firm's required return.

Question 3 2.5 / 2.5 pts

The free cash flow to equity model (FCFE) is used to obtain the analyst's
estimate of the market value of equity.

Correct! True

False

Question 4 2.5 / 2.5 pts

If a firm's capital structure (the firm's mix of debt and equity) changes, the
firm's weighted average cost of capital (WACC) will not change. This
means that cash flows from year 1 through year infinity from the FCFF
model can be discounted at a constant WACC.

True

Correct! False

In Case #1, we subtract change in net working capital from after tax EBIT.
Change in net working capital is subtracted because:

Change in NWC is effectively taking care of the accrual method of


accounting similar to the operating section of the Accounting CF
Statement. So if the change is positive, current assets increased by more
than current liabilities, so the subtraction is an INFLOW.

Correct!
Change in NWC is effectively taking care of the accrual method of
accounting similar to the OPERATING section of the Accounting CF
Statement. So if the change is positive, current assets increased by more
than current liabilities, so the subtraction is an OUTFLOW.

Change in NWC is effectively taking care of the accrual method of


accounting similar to the INVESTING section of the Accounting CF
Statement. So if the change is positive, current assets increased by more
than current liabilities, so the subtraction is an OUTFLOW.

Change in NWC is effectively taking care of the accrual method of


accounting similar to the FINANCING section of the Accounting CF
Statement. So if the change is positive, current assets increased by more
than current liabilities, so the subtraction is an OUTFLOW.

Question 6 2.5 / 2.5 pts

When we deduct capital expenditures in a valuation model, this reflects


the purchase (or sale) of fixed assets, property plant and equipment,
similar to what is deducted in the INVESTING section of the Accounting
Statement of Cash Flows.

Correct! True

False

Question 7 2.5 / 2.5 pts

The appropriate required return for Free Cash Flow to Equity is the
levered cost of equity because the cash flows which are being discounted
only include those going to equityholders.

Correct! True

False

Question 8 2.5 / 2.5 pts

In Case #1, when you compute FCFF (free cash flow to the firm), you are
calculating the "value" of either a firm or a project (C2 = either 1 or 2 in
the Val Input tab). In the case of C2 = 1, you are calculating Free Cash
Flow to the Entire Firm, while when C2 = 2, you are calculating Free Cash
Flow to "the project" (which is likely one asset).

Correct! True

False

Question 9 2.5 / 2.5 pts

If you build your valuation model correctly (such as Case #1), specifically
by adjusting the appropriate required returns, the value of the firm should
be the same regardless of which specific model you use (that is, Free
Cash Flow to the Firm (FCFF), Free Cash Flow to Equity (FCFE), or
Adjusted Present Value (APV)).

Correct! True

False

Question 10 2.5 / 2.5 pts

If an analyst obtains a price per share of $42.00 from a Discounted Cash


Flow (DCF) analysis (either from the FCFF, FCFE, or APV models), and
the actual market value per share is $37.00, the analyst will likely issue a
________ recommendation of this stock.

Correct! Buy

Sell

Strong Sell
