Your valuation is an argument about assumptions wearing a spreadsheet
Two students can build the same model and reach valuations that differ by half, purely through the discount rate and the growth assumption. Which is why assignments are graded on whether you can justify the inputs, not on whether you can run the formula.

The inputs carry the result, and they are the assessed part
A discounted cash flow is arithmetic. The discount rate, the growth rate and the terminal value assumption decide the output, and small changes in any of them move the valuation enormously. An assignment that presents a number without defending those three has skipped the work.
This is why sensitivity analysis appears in so many rubrics. Showing how the valuation changes across a range of plausible assumptions is more honest and more useful than a single figure, and it demonstrates that you understand where the uncertainty sits.
Cost of capital is the other recurring difficulty. Assembling a WACC means making choices about the risk-free rate, the equity risk premium, beta and the capital structure, each of which can be argued differently. Stating what you used and why is usually worth more than any individual choice.
- Assumptions stated explicitly and defended
- Sensitivity analysis, where the rubric asks or where it helps
- Cost of capital built up with sourced inputs
- A recommendation that acknowledges the range, not just the point estimate
What we work on
Your own assignment and your own model
- Discounted cash flow models and terminal value
- NPV, IRR, payback and where each one misleads
- WACC, CAPM and building a defensible discount rate
- Capital structure and dividend policy questions
- Writing the analysis so the reasoning is visible
We teach the method. You build the model
- We do not build your models or complete your assignments.
- We do not produce valuations for you to submit.
- We do not sit or assist during any exam or timed quiz.
- We do not supply completed work to adapt.
- We teach the method on worked examples, then review what you built.

Frequently Asked Questions
Build it rather than pick it. For an equity valuation, CAPM with a stated risk-free rate, equity risk premium and beta, each sourced. For a firm, a WACC using the target capital structure. What matters for the assignment is that every input is named and justified.
NPV, where they conflict. IRR is intuitive and breaks down with non-conventional cash flows and when comparing mutually exclusive projects of different scale. Most rubrics want you to know that and to say which you are relying on and why.
Carefully, because it is usually the majority of the valuation. State the method, state the growth assumption, and check that the assumed perpetual growth is below long-run economic growth. A terminal growth rate above that implies the firm eventually becomes the whole economy.
Sanity-check it against something observable: comparable multiples, market capitalization, or the price actually paid in a transaction. A DCF wildly out of line with comparables usually has an input problem rather than an insight.
Yes, on structure and formulas, teaching you to build it. We will not build the model for you, partly for the obvious reason and partly because model construction is frequently part of what is being assessed.
