High-yield · a recurring item-set anchor
Must know
- FCFF = NI + NCC + Int(1−t) − FCInv − WCInv → discount at WACC
- FCFE = FCFF − Int(1−t) + Net borrowing → discount at r_e
- Terminal value = FCF₍ₙ₊₁₎ ÷ (r − g)
Decision rule
Match each cash flow to its claimant — FCFF↔WACC, FCFE↔cost of equity; prefer FCFF when leverage is changing.
Trap — Forgetting the after-tax interest add-back when bridging FCFF → FCFE.
