RE: Quick & Dirty Basic LBO Model: Modeling Private Cos
TEV means Total Enterprise Value. We would *HIGHLY* recommend you take our Corporate Valuation course!

Tricky question. Since firm specific risk is defined as total risk (sigma or standard deviation) less market risk, as the total risk of individual stock changes and assuming market risk stays constant (since we only update market risk premium once a year when Ibbotson publishes their updated Marke...
