measuring capital charge
Hi from the course, I see that you are using total capital to calculate capital charge. I was reading up on Damodaran's explanation on this as well and don't understand that, can you elaborate? "In cases where firms alter their capital invested through their operating decisions (for example, by usin... Read More

Negative EVA
Hi I revised the calculation on EVA using Rirchard S's method as per the prior thread below, however this yields negative EVA through the projection years hence TV as % of TEV is >100%, I guess this renders EVA useless in valuing the company right? Which also means from EVA perspective, it is re... Read More

Using book value in Residual Income
I think you made three mistakes in how you calculated equity value using RI. 1) You forgot to add the current book value to your valuation estimate. You should either add cell I12 to K25-L25, or better, bring in the 2005 book value from the core model ($53,171) in cell H12. 2) Equity charges s... Read More

Core Model Enhancements - Tax Schedule
In the tax schedule tab, the formula for cells G18:K18: Why is amortization of other intangibles not also added to Pre-Tax Income (GAAP) to calculate the Income Tax Expense (GAAP)? To be more specific, the current formula in G18 is =(G7+G10)*$G$25. Is there any reason why =(G7+G10+G11)*$G$25 wou... Read More

Enhancements to the core model- Part II EVA analysis
Hi, I am watching the video - EVA analysis. The total capital (debt + equity) figures that you provided in the downloaded template are different from the figures that are showing in your template on the video. Thus, I have a different valuation base on the downloaded template. For 2006, the figure ... Read More
