interesting for those economists engaged in either practice or
theory, particularly for those in finance. The literature on firm
valuation recommends logical, quantitative methods, which deal with
establishing today's value of future free cash flows. In this
respect firm valuation is identical with the calculation of the
discounted cash flow, DCF. There are, however, different coexistent
versions, which seem to compete against each other. Entity approach
and equity approach are thus differentiated. Acronyms are often
used, such as APV (adjusted present value) or WACC (weighted
average cost of capital), whereby these two concepts are classified
under entity approach.
Why are there several procedures and not just one? Do they all lead
to the same result? If not, where do the economic differences lie?
If so, for what purpose are different methods needed? And further:
do the known procedures suffice? Or are there situations where none
of the concepts developed up to now delivers the correct value of
the firm? If so, how is the appropriate valuation formula to be
found? These questions are not just interesting for theoreticians;
even the practitioner who is confronted with the task of marketing
his or her results has to deal with it. The authors systematically
clarify the way in which these different variations of the DCF
concept are related throughout the book

"Compared with the huge number of books on pragmatic approaches to
discounted cash flow valuation, there are remarkably few that lay
out the theoretical underpinnings of this technique. Kruschwitz and
Löffler bring together the theory in this area in a consistent
and rigorous way that should be useful for all serious students of
the topic."
--Ian Cooper, London Business School
"This treatise on the market valuation of corporate cash flows
offers the first reconciliation of conventional cost-of-capital
valuation models from the corporate finance literature with
state-pricing (or 'risk-neutral' pricing) models subsequently
developed on the basis of multi-period no-arbitrage theories. Using
an entertaining style, Kruschwitz and Löffler develop a
precise and theoretically consistent definition of 'cost of
capital', and provoke readers to drop vague or contradictory
alternatives."
--Darrell Duffie, Stanford University
"Handling firm and personal income taxes properly in valuation
involves complex considerations. This book offers a new, precise,
clear and concise theoretical path that is pleasant to read. Now it
is the practitioners task to translate this approach into
real-world applications!"
--Wolfgang Wagner, PricewaterhouseCoopers
"It is an interesting book, which has some new results and it fills
a gap in the literature between the usual undergraduate material
and the very abstract PhD material in such books as that of Duffie
(Dynamic Asset Pricing Theory). The style is very engaging, which
is rare in books pitched at this level."
--Martin Lally, University of Wellington
