Which of the following statements describing the elements of intrinsic valuation is most accurate? A.) When the present value of the cashflows is discounted with the appropriate rate and this present value is positive, then the asset providing these cashflows has a value to the investor. B.) The risk-free rate is the lowest rate that an investor can earn from short-term investments. C.) Cashflows may include depreciation expenses and amortization costs. D.) A simple calculation of present values of expected cashflows of different investments using the risk free rate would be enough to determine which asset is best.

True or False Relative Valuation links an asset's value to its inherent qualities, such as its ability to produce cash flows and the risk associated with those cash flows. Value is futuristic. Equivalent to the present worth of all expected future benefits from ownership. A company's liquidation value is determined by its future cash flows. The Cost Approach Model adjusted the anticipated cash flows by discounting them to the valuation date using time value of money principles and a risk-adjusted discount rate that represents the asset's risk. The greater the size of an asset's cash flows, the lower the asset's value.
The basic principle of valuation states that the value of any asset is: O The sum of the present value of all cash flows generated by the assetO The sum of all future cash flows generated by the assetO The present value of next year's cash flow onlyO The degree of cash flow riskiness is not a relevant factor in valuation
