Question for the bankers. When doing DCF models for transactions, do you guys compute the wacc to be as detailed as how the Valuation guys in the big4 do it? Detailed as in to include equity risk premiums from damodaran, levering beta etc

My understanding is banks are extremely rigorous about WACC

😂 there’s no way bankers are drawing WACC assumptions from damodaran, that’s just lazy

Hi team ,

I have started working from jul2019 and I have filed my tax return for 2020 and 2021 tax years.


However I note that there was withholding of some amount in 2017-2018 and 2019 tax years ( withholding from comission received from insurance commission from lic and United india)

I have not filed 2017, 2018, 2019 return as my total income was less than threshold

Is it possible to file return for 2017 , 2018, 2019( all r in refund) now without paying any penalty?

I am a traditional reservist so I never really used military benefits before, but could use advice here.

I am currently renting and my lease is not up until October 2021, however I found a good deal on a home and scheduled to close in June 2021.

My landlord will not work with me to end the lease early, so it looks like I will have to double up on rent and mortgage through the summer.

If I went on active duty orders, can I use those orders to break my lease early without penalty?
