Discounted Cash Flow Valuation

Summary

The aim of the course is to introduce students to the basic approach for estimating the value of assets, the discounted cash flow method. Students will understand the basic assumptions and will be able to practically apply this method in estimating the value of real assets and the value of companies. Attention will be focused on both practical aspects of estimating the required parameters and on the interrelationships between individual methods. Students will understand the impact of capital structure on the value of assets and will learn calculations both in discrete and continuous valuation.
