Este capítulo está dedicado a la definición y aplicación del concepto del 'costo de capital' y la valoración de los flujos de caja desde diferentes puntos de vista. Se presenta un método para estimar el costo de la deuda y las formulaciones generales del costo del patrimonio y del tradicional costo promedio ponderado del capital CPPC, (WACC, en inglés), para el flujo de caja libre, FCL y para el no tradicional flujo de caja de capital, FCC. Se explica en detalle la fórmula tradicional de libros de texto del CPPC con respecto a FCC y FCL. Se muestra la solución del problema de la circularidad entre el CPPC y el valor del flujo de caja tanto con iteraciones como de forma analítica. Al final del capítulo se presentan algunas preguntas para animar al lector a tener nuevas perspectivas sobre el tema.
This chapter is devoted to the definition and application of the 'cost of capital' concept to the valuation of cash flows from different points of view. We present an approach to estimate the cost of debt and general formulations for the cost of equity and the traditional weighted average cost of capital WACC, for the free cash flow, FCF and the non-traditional Capital Cash Flow, CCF. We explain in detail the traditional textbook formula for the WACC with respect to the CCF and FCF. We demonstrate the solution of the circularity problem between the WACC and the value of the cash flow with an iterative process and with an analytical approach. At the end of the chapter the reader will find some questions to encourage the reader to have further insights to the subject.
