EV Formula from BIWS

Hi,

just scrolled through some of the BIWS materials and saw the following calculation for EV (they use "company value") : Cash Flow / (Discount Rate – Cash Flow Growth Rate).

Isn't that a rather vague way to express it? Seems like a mixture of FCF/(1+WACC)^x and EDIT: FCFn*(1+g)/(WACC - g).

Dude, no need to be playing as its obvious that I don't know my shit. Thanks for confirming that my edit is correct. However, what about the formula from BIWS. Your reply to my initial question was "no, ..", i.e. the formula is correct. But is it really?

Yes it's correct. It's the same as what you have written. Is your concern that it's not multiplied * (1+g)?
