Nowadays, the transmission of companies market is rapidly expanding. Given this development of the market, the company BestValue was created to be an intermediary between seller and buyers. This project thesis focuses on this phenomenon and particularly to the position of the purchaser of a company. 
In order to transfer a company, BestValue needs to follow different steps. Valorization is one of the most important steps and leads to the value of the target company. One of the challenges is to make the acquirer understand the meaning of this valorization process. Therefore, the thesis will help the purchaser to see where he can create value with the target company. 
Some interviews realized during the project will help to understand the motivation that leads a buyer to buy someone’s business instead of creating his own. Moreover, it helps to value the target company in the position of the acquirer. 
To do so, this thesis starts with some theoretical aspects : an overview of the different methods of valorization, the different types of acquirer and what is transmitted in a company transaction. After the theoretical part, this thesis addresses more practical aspects, with the presentation of cases. Indeed, it will describe where the value is created when someone buys a company, and how the acquirer can optimize his purchase. 
The first output of this work is the creation of a new tool which will help BestValue to demonstrate how the acquirer can create value with a targeted company. Moreover, thanks to the Leverage Buy-Out method, the understanding of the financial aspects of the purchase is the second output of this work.

This paper offers an assessment of the methodologies employed to estimate the economic opportunity cost of capital for public sector projects, relying on the Mexican case for an applied empirical exercise. The traditional weighted cost of capital (top-down) approach used in the estimation of Mexico's economic opportunity cost of capital is reviewed and compared to the supply price (bottom-up) approach. With respect to previous studies using the top-down approach, this paper explores the contribution of domestic savings and expands the analysis to include a more detailed examination of the available macroeconomic, labor, financial, and tax information. The re-estimated top-down economic opportunity cost of capital for Mexico comes to 10.4 percent. To confirm these results and provide additional insights regarding the alternative bottom-up approach, the economic opportunity cost of capital is estimated using the supply price plus externalities method. For the case of Mexico, this paper recommends using a combination of estimation models (both the top-down and bottom-up approaches) to check the consistency of results and re-estimating the economic opportunity cost of capital every five years to accommodate for macroeconomic and fiscal changes. More broadly, the paper acknowledges the complexities involved in the estimation of the economic opportunity cost of capital for public investment projects and underlines the relevance of additional considerations, such as changes in global economic trends and country risk ratings, tax distortions, financial sector improvements, the impact of reforms, and data availability.

This text is designed for use in a course in applied international corporate finance for managers and executives. Instead of the "encyclopedic" approach, the text focuses on the two main issues of interest to managers who deal with overseas operations. The first main issue is how uncertain foreign exchange (FX) rate changes affect a firm's ongoing cash flows and equity value, and what can be done about this risk. The second main issue is the estimation of the cost of capital for international operations and the evaluation of overseas investment proposals. Numerous examples of real-world companies are used.

This open access book discusses firm valuation, which is of interest to economists, particularly those working in finance. Firm valuation comes down to the calculation of the discounted cash flow, often only referred to by its abbreviation, DCF. There are, however, different coexistent versions, which seem to compete against each other, such as entity approaches and equity approaches. Acronyms are often used, such as APV (adjusted present value) or WACC (weighted average cost of capital), two concepts classified as entity approaches. This book explains why there are several procedures and whether they lead to the same result. It also examines the economic differences between the methods and indicates the various purposes they serve. Further it describes the limits of the procedures and the situations they are best applied to. The problems this book addresses are relevant to theoreticians and practitioners alike.

New methodology for econometricians, based on the dual formulation of the theory of production in terms of prices. The objectives of econometric modeling of producer behavior are to determine the nature of substitution among inputs and outputs and of differences in technology, as well as the role of economies of scale in production. Recent advances in methodology, based on the dual formulation of the theory of production in terms of prices, have enabled econometricians to achieve these objectives more effectively. This volume summarizes the economic theory, the econometric methodology, and the empirical findings resulting from the new approach.
