I understand why market value of all capital should be used when calculating the WACC for a future project, but I don't understand why it should be used in valuing a firm today.

For Example:

Time = 0

Assets = 1,000 return 8% required return 8%
Debt = 500 return 8% required return 8%
Equity = 500 return 8% required return 8%

In this simple example, the returns and required returns are equal, therefore the market values equal book values.

If the required return of the debt increases to 10%, then the value of the liability decreases to 400.

Is it not good when the value of a liability decreases for the company that is paying on the debt? If this happens, would the value of the assets not increase because the company is paying a yield below market yields?

But, based on market values of 400 for debt and 500 for equity, the WACC would increase resulting in a decline in the value of the assets.

I would really appreciate it if someone could help me out.

those whom side with illegals
racist latinos,,,no that couldn't be,,YES THERE ARE MANY RACIST LATINOS,,IT'S PRACTICALLY A SPORT FOR THEM

how could anyone logically be pro-illegal, Even if the illegals are benifitting us greatly,,which they are not, Don't you think there has to be a regulated flow of settlers into a country , any country if it is worth a damn

I think it's just ultra-sensitive latinos, that are offended at anything a white person does that runs short of hating themselves and praising latinos, THIS BS has got to stop, WHERE are all the wonderful level headed citizens of hispanic orgin,,,, we need you now to stop this childish hate

Lets expose the crap and bring all the lies and BS to the table,, enough is enough already

the fact is the people thet run the pro-illegal movemnet have other agendas such as corrupt coropatism, racist leftist ideology like La Raza,,,,,Do you think for a minute that they really care about the human right s of anybody

It is a great power... don't get me wrong.

My favorite Marvel hero is Wolverine. So I get the whole healing factor thing, and think it is cool that his arch-enemy is a bigger stronger version of him... and i even like that Weapon X used Logan's own healing factor to augment other operatives.

What i don't like is that so many other people in Marvel have obtained or gained healing factors. Most of whom don't really need and or deserve it And many of whom have healing factors better then Wolverine and Sabertooth! Some examples (ones with * are supposed to be greater then wolverine's): The Hulk*, Icarus, Mimic, Copycat, The Beast, Balzing Skull*, She-Hulk, Blade, Green Goblin, Archangel, and Tony Stark*.

What the hell is the deal...?

I am writing a story for my language class. It involves vampires and I came up with a name for the girl but I cannot, for the life of me, come up with a decent name for a male vampire. It needs to be old-fashioned but attractive. Thanks for any help you can give me.

I know the real God is captured in the bible. But tell me in simpler terms who he is. (Yes, i know he is god. But what is the real God like?) There have been different ideas of what God really is and we tend to project a certain image of God according to our liking. Tell me, who is the real Him?

I think I am. I try my best to be nice to everyone but if people are rude and disrespectful to me over and over again and I have been nice to them countless times, I just can't play fake anymore. It takes up too much energy.

Career choice

2006-12-23 03:07:03 · 8 answers · asked by Anonymous in Psychology

I am 17 and still in highschool, all of my friends are boys and I would like to have more friends that are girls. My school is very small and there arn't many girls to choose from for friends or girlfriends. I've been told that I am attractive and I can see that girls are interested in me, but I have trouble keeping them interested because I have trouble thinking of things to talk about with them. I also can't find a girl that shares my sense of humour, my other friends think I am hilarious, and it's not that I a jackass sense of humour that girls wouldn't be interested in. I'm also very shy so this adds to the problem (alcohol has helped with this but I don't want to have to resort to that all the time).

Any suggestions?
