Hello tutors, am having trouble answering the following questions, please provide clarity on eachone of them, please provide detailed explanation for thumbs up rating.

1. Our company (A) is going to buy another company (B). We want to value the shares of

B and, therefore, we will use three alternatives of the structure Debt/Shareholders'

Equity so as to obtain the WACC: 1) present structure of A; 2) present structure of B,

and 3) structure used by A to finance the acquisition of B's shares. We will value the

company B by applying these three alternatives and then take as a reference the

average of the results. Is this correct?

2. When valuing the shares of my company, I calculate the present value of the expected

cash flows to shareholders and I add to the result obtained cash holdings and liquid

investments. Is that correct?

3. I think the Free Cash Flow (FCF) can be obtained from the Equity Cash Flow (CFac) by

using the relation: FCF = CFac + Interests - D. Is this true?

4. Is the relation between capitalization and book value of shares a good guide to

investments?

5. Does it make any sense to form a portfolio comprised of companies with a higher

return per dividend?

6. A financial consultant is valuing the company I set as an objective (an entertainment

centre) by discounting the cash flows until the end of the dealership at 7.26% (interest

rate on 30-year-bonds = 5.1%; market premium = 5%, and Beta = 0.47%). 0.47 is a

beta provided by Bloomberg for Kinepolis (the company whose activity is the

management of several cinemas in the EU), in function of the Dax Index. Is it correct

to use the beta of Kinepolis in this valuation?

7. I am confused because I see different formulae to lever and unlever betas in different

books (Damodaran, McKinsey, Brealey & Myers ...). Which is the correct one?

8. An investment bank affirms that the VTS (Value of Tax Shields) of my company is

equal to each year's VTS using the WACC as a discount rate. I told them that I have

never seen such a calculation of the VTS but they answered that it was a habitual

practice. Is that true?

9. I have two valuations of the company we set as an objective. In one of them, the

present value of tax shields (D Kd T) was calculated using Ku (required return to

unlevered equity) and, in the other one, using Kd (required return to debt). The second

valuation is a lot higher than the first one, but which of the two is better?

10. My investment bank told me that the beta provided by Bloomberg incorporates the

illiquidity risk and the small cap premium because Bloomberg does the so-called

Bloomberg adjustment formula. Is that true?
