Q
  1. If you were buying a vending machine business, would you pay a higher multiple for a business in which you owned the machines and depreciated them or in which you leased the machines as an operating lease? Depreciation and lease expense are the same amounts, all else is the same.
A
  1. Higher multiple with operating lease, because depreciation would be added back with EBITDA, thus having a higher EBITDA and thus lower multiple for an operating lease.

Q

In a DCF, how is the derived value and discount rate related? (Not inverse relationship, but the other aspect)

A

In order to achieve the desired rate of return equal to the cost of capital, you would need to pay this much, hence its value.

View the discount rate as a return investors require in comparison to to other investments. I’m going to pay this amount because doing so generates x% return when I get those future cash flows over that period of time.
