- How does the capital asset pricing model (CAPM) influence financial decisions regarding risk and return?arrow_forwardRelative 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.arrow_forwardWhat is a discounted cash flow approach to fair market value estimation, and what are some of the underlying assumptions that companies make when determining Level 3 fair value estimates using a discounted cash flow approach?arrow_forward
