IBR

Post by JBHF »

Hi Everyone,
Let's say a company analysing an investment and it uses discounting cash flow (DCF) to assess the profitability. I understand the most common method might be using risk free rate plus risk premium.

I wonder if it's common to use IBR as the discount rate for non-lease capex such as property and machinery investments?

I'd say WACC is used most often, but this view isn't based on any research. Using rates based on borrowings only overlooks the cost of (expected return on) equity.

I'd agree with that. Maybe your business is largely financed by debt so it's the same thing.
