Abstract

This paper presents the main characteristics, restrictions and applicability of company evaluation methodology, which is calculated by the Discounted Cash Flow Method. This way, it presents the two approaches used: the shareholder cash flow, which demonstrates the shareholders equity and is obtained through the owners discounted cash flows by the owners cost of capital rate; and the company cash flow, which discounts the company’s cash flow through the weighted average cost of capital (WACC). Finally, it approaches the effects caused by the use of an incorrect discount rate in the company evaluation process.
