Analysis Discounted Cash Flow
Discounted cash Flow represents the net present value of projected cash flows that is accessible to all of the providers of capital. The net of the cash that is require so as investing in the creation of projected growth (IFAC, 2008). There are three factors that are necessary for the application of DCF: that is the current stock price, current dividend and the marginal investor’s expected dividend growth rate. The stock price is quite easy to acquire but the marginal capital cost is not that easy to approximate. The average capital cost takes up the mean of the capital values. The average capital cost approach that is applied in the DCF requires extra amount of care when handling it, which is in the choosing of the most appropriate income stream. The net cash flow to the full investment made is basically accepted.
The cost of the capital is applied in the financial investment arena so as to make reference to the cost of the company’s fund. The accuracy that is accorded to the valuation is more reliant on the quality of the assumptions. This is quite disadvantageous as the capital cost valuations are expressed as ranges of values for necessary inputs. DCF is a mechanical valuation the small changes in the inputs can result in huge changes in the value of the company.
