Re: Cost of Equity and Debt
Recall that the WACC analysis is meant to capture the MARGINAL cost of capital for the company. As such, you definitely use MARKET VALUE of equity and debt. In reality, for non-distressed companies, we proxy market value of debt by using book value of debt. Minor, immaterial differences, so no worri... Read More

RE: 338(h)(10) elections and foreign (non-US) companies
If a foreign corporation is a "qualifying foreign purchasing corporation" (see requirements under Treasury Regulation 1.338-2) and the target is a "qualifying foreign target", a Section 338 election can be made. Of course, it's only applicable to the extent that the Parent and/or target are subject ... Read More

RE: Complex LBO Modeling: about change in account receivables
This is fully explained in our accounting course! In a nutshell an increase in a/r means that you collected LESS $ than last year, thus, it is a USE of cash, so prior year less current year, assuming growth in a/r balance results in a negative number. The textbooks teach "take the negative change" w... Read More

Re: Complex LBO - putting short term and long term debt together
What we did in reclassifying STD into LTD is purely to reclassify it. We aren't making any adjustments to the actual balances, thus, there is no need to reference to H29. Put it this way - completely hard code a zero into STD and put that amount into LTD. We did the *0 so that we can still see the o... Read More

Re: Distressed Debt Model
When evaluating HY bonds, the core model makes a lot of sense but shouldn't one also evaluate HY bonds from the perspective of the corporation going into bankruptcy? Shouldn't one focus much on the downside which is why I was thinking (incorrectly) tying in the distressed model as a method of evalu... Read More
