What is your assumption about financing of capex and change in working capital??

Finance valuation of En+ group

For discounted cash flow approach
What model you would like to use stable growth, two periods or three period growths???

Think of the discount rate you would like to use to compute PV of cash flow. Different rate for different stage of growth? Or the same???

• What you would like to value 1) entire firm (FCFF) or only equity part (FCFE or Dividend)
• Use WACC for firm valuation, required rate of return for equity for equity valuation
For equity valuation

How to estimate the growth rate of dividend and growth rate of FCFE (ratios using historical average, industry average)

What is your assumption about financing of capex and change in working capital??

EBITDA (both equity of firm)multiple is one of the most commonly used valuation metrics, as EBITDA is commonly used as a proxy for cash flow available to the firm.

When a company has negative EBITDA, the EBITDA and EBIT multiples will not be material. In such cases, Sales multiple may be the most appropriate multiple to use.

When depreciation and amortization expenses are small, as in the case of a non-capital-intensive company such as a consulting firm, EBIT and EBITDA will be similar.
For the sake of consistency (because you want to compare both DCF and relative valuation results), if you value FCFF, use the multiples that estimate the value of the firm, if you estimate the value of equity FCFE, use the equity multiples.

Cultural Diversity/Social Work

Hetero-sexism is defined as “the discrimination or prejudice by heterosexuals against homosexuals”  and is predicated on the belief that being heterosexual is the norm and the only accepted type of relationship.

Everyday hetero-sexism is exemplified in our media, our policies, and daily practices. By making these assumptions, social workers can be in part culpable for the oppression and marginalization experienced by the LGBTQ community.

As a profession, social work embraces diversity and strives to ensure equal rights for all. The National Association of Social Workers (NASW) is committed to supporting the needs of these groups and, in turn, they created the National Committee on Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Issues. During this week’s discussion you will be asked to consider how one’s own personal views on sexual orientation may clash with the profession’s stance.

Post a scenario of how a social worker’s personal, ethical, and moral values in relation to the LGBTQ community might conflict with those of their clients. Explain the distinction between personal ethics and values and professional ethics and values evident in the social work profession in addressing this community. Be specific and explain how this distinction relates to the scenario you posted.

xplain how prejudice and bias might create barriers to fulfilling your professional responsibility to the LGBTQ community.
