Application Of Dcf Method In The Assessment Of Company's Capital - With A Study Case, Bukurie Imeri Jusufi, Sema Kazazi

UBT International Conference

The models based on assets, dividents, cash flow and returns are identical, however, in the real world, a perfect environment does not exist, thus the results of the models applied throughout the assessment of the companies are different. Therefore, in such an environment, the data used during the capital assessment represent the assessment of the future values and their measurement is important during the predictions.

The aim of the study is to explain the concept of 'market real value' of the companies and the methodological instrumentarium for their assessment, with a special focus on the factors that influence the company's …

The main reason behind such a support lies on the needs of people for holidays, relax, health and food. The Republic of Kosovo has an area of 10.887 km2 and a population of 1.8 …

UBT International Conference

Assessment, planning, and budgeting are interrelated disciplines that play an important role in accomplishing a library's mission.
