blackberry1 THAT TAKES LOT OF TIME
aravinda just making sure -- is this right?

debt/capital = debt / (debt + equity)
Allen88 yep, it's right aravinda
REITboy I did it completely differently (wrong, I guess), but got the right answer.

I used Ke of 8.52% instead of WACC to discount back the FCFF (=689), then added back the value of the LT debt.

Don't know why it worked, but it did..
quanttrader wow what a very long section!
endurance pretty straightforward.... 1) WACC, 2) cash flows, 3) term value, 4) CF menu on the BAII
davcer total capital=capital + liabilities
