| newsky | financing expense as the cost of capital |
| haarlemmer | Well, I learned my lesson. It seems to me that I should automatically assume cogs=vc |
| Shelton | DFL=EBIT/(EBIT-I)=(S-VC-F)/(S-VC-F-I) where EBIT=S-VC-F |
| steved333 | COGS is always VC. Financing exp=I. So, EBIT/(EBIT-I) is (S-VC-F)/(S-VC-F-I) |
| 2014 | DFL = Q(p - v) - f/ Q(p-v) - f -c |
| gill15 | really got to do the questions in this section. |
| Akiva | What is VC? |
I am happy to say that I passed! Your study notes certainly helped prepare me for what was the most difficult exam I had ever taken.
