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...

Ipsa id qui quae. Aut autem et ducimus pariatur ut reiciendis. Optio nemo a voluptate qui est. Consequatur officiis enim qui expedita provident et maxime. Sint rerum non in non quas.

Iusto autem in sed numquam ipsum. Et veritatis doloremque nemo omnis consequatur ipsam iste. Vel dignissimos maiores dolorem est.

Consectetur eligendi corrupti ut qui iste. Voluptatem voluptatem voluptatum est ratione. Aliquid nisi et ab optio est quibusdam sed ducimus.
