If enterprise value is the market value of a company's net operating assets (operating assets - operating liabilities), why do you add debt, which is a non-operating liability, to equity value to get to EV?
I know EV is the value of the company that is attributable to all investors, but I get why you subtract cash (non-operating asset), but why add back the debt?
