Some Queries

The water cooler moments at my work place differs greatly from most places given the complete lack of conversational topics away from work. Anyway, some of the recent head scratching queries are as follows:

1. Why use market weight of equity in place of book weight of equity in calculating WACC?

2. Why would an investor look at EV/EBITDA over P/E?

3. If you are a buyout firm - to calculate EV - would you better placed if you took the book value of debt?

Your thoughts before I start composing again...
