Learning outcomes, core skills:

After completing this course, the students deeply understand valuation with discounted cash flow methods under different financing strategies. Particular emphasis is placed on incorporating personal taxes into valuation and understanding the relationship between valuation without and with personal taxes. For all cases, students learn how to adjust the cost of equity to leverage and determine a firm’s value with two-stage models. Additionally, the effects of the consideration of share repurchases on the value of a firm are integrated into the valuation models. The course not only provides theoretical competencies, but by implementing various exercises in Excel, the participants gain various practical skills in valuation
