business values result from a comparison with a peer: consequently, if taxation of the FCF / interest is equal to its peer, tax burden (FCF) and tax savings (interest expense) cannot create any value: e.g. in case A, value of FCF is 100 : 10% (before tax) = 80 : 8% (after tax) = 1.000 each. in case B, provided that the business valued as well as its peer both have deductible interest, value of debt must be 4.000 (320 : 8% = 256 : 6%)with equity value being 5.000 less 4.000 = 1.000 (instead of 1.800)and levered equity cost = 14,4% (144 / 1.000) instead of 8% (144 / 1.800).
