• 'Fairness' at an Unfair Cost

We raise taxes on things we want to discourage, like cigarettes. President Obama's proposal to increase taxes on capital gains and dividends is a clear formula for a higher cost of capital, just as higher taxes on cigarettes produce a higher price for Marlboros.

Recent controversies testify that the tax shield valuation remains a hot topic in the financial literature. Basically, two methods have been proposed to incorporate the tax benefit of debt in the present value computation: The adjusted present value (APV), and the classical weighted average cost of capital (WACC). This note clarifies the relationship between these two apparently different approaches by offering . This formula encompasses earlier results obtained by Modigliani and Miller (1963) and Harris and Pringle (1985).

• Where Does Marketing Fit Into the Capital Budgeting Equation?

In order for a firm to grow, the firm must often implement various growth-oriented projects. After a number of new project ideas have been generated, the initial list of ideas is screened and those ideas that are inconsistent with the organization's strategy or are otherwise deemed inappropriate are eliminated from consideration. Ideas that survive the initial screening process are then examined for financial feasibility using any or all of the recognized capital budgeting techniques to select which projects should be pursued and funded. However, financial projections are all too often made on the assumption of "all else being equal." The significance of marketing activities that may determine-or increase-the value of a particular project under consideration by a firm, is seldom directl...

• FTA Fiscal Year 2012 Apportionments, Allocations, and Program Information

Additionally, the Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2012, provides full-year funding for FTA's programs funded from the General Fund of the United States Treasury, which are Administrative Expenses, the New Starts and Research programs and grants to the Washington Metropo...
