Analysis and evaluation of the approach to the cost of capital and capital structure in the Czech expert opinions on the business valuation - Part 2[Analýza a zhodnocení přístupu k nákladům kapitálu a kapitálové struktuře v českých znaleckých posudcích na ocenění podniku - 2. část]

The aim of the second part of the article is to verify on a sample of published expert opinions how large errors may occur due to an incorrectly determined capital structure or the use of an inappropriate reagental function in a discount rate. The analysis in the examined sample showed a percentage error in the net value from the main operation from - 59% to + 32%, for remote results even up to + 298%. It turned out that the error is large even with the correct tuning of the capital structure, if an inappropriate reagent function is used to recalculate the cost of equity. The largest range of errors was based on assessments with an inappropriate reagental function and at the same time the target capital structure. The DCF equity method more often led to an underestimation of the resulting valuation and showed a higher average and median error than DCF entities. However, the DCF entity method had a wider range of errors found.
