Proposition
Proposition
If the assumptions hold, the total market value of two
firms that are identical except for their levels of
gearing must be the same, and their WACCs must be
the same
If they were not the same, investors could improve
their position by arbitrage, selling the shares of one
and buying shares in the other, which would alter the
relative prices of shars until the WACCs become equal
The level of gearing is therefore irrelevant to the
WACC and the value of the firm

1. Dividend valuation approach DVA
(or dividend growth/discounted cash flow model):
Assumptions
Assumptions
There are few assumptions behind the method:
(a) future dividends are expected to grow at a
constant rate perpetually;
(b) future dividends can be discounted at a
constant cost of equity capital;
(c) future dividends remain a constant
proportion of earnings over time;
(d) the firm is an all-equity-financed firm, or it
has a constant level of leverage (or a constant
debt-equity ratio).

2. Capital asset pricing model (CAPM):
Cost of equity capital = risk-free rate +
beta (market rate - riskfree rate)
Re = Rf + (Rm - Rf)
Therefore, if we use the CAPM to estimate a
firms cost of equity capital (Re, or the required
rate of return), we have to estimate a firms beta,
the risk-free rate of return, and the market risk
premium (the difference between Rm and Rf).
