Doing this introduces a stress test in the estimation of the discount rate, which can be very relevant for the fair valuation of excessively leveraged companies traded on the stock market.

Hacer esto introduce una prueba de estrés en la estimación de la tasa de descuento, que puede ser muy relevante para la valoración justa de empresas excesivamente apalancadas transadas en bolsa. En este sentido, el propósito de este artículo consiste en evidenciar la vulnerabilidad financiera resultante para este tipo de firmas al ajustar explícitamente por riesgo de quiebra el costo del capital, y resaltar sus implicaciones para el mercado de deuda bursátil y bancaria, partiendo de un análisis comparativo entre tres métodos alternativos de cálculo del costo promedio de capital: costo promedio ponderado del capital clásico sin riesgo de incumplimiento, costo promedio ponderado del capital con costo de la deuda esperado ajustado internamente por riesgo de incumplimiento y costo promedio ponderado del capital con costo de la deuda ajustado externamente por riesgo de incumplimiento.application/pdfspaUniversidad EAFIThttps://publicaciones.eafit.edu.co/index.php/ecos-economia/article/view/6345https://publicaciones.eafit.edu.co/index.php/ecos-economia/article/view/6345Copyright © 2020 Juan Carlos Gutiérrez Betancur, David Mejía Kambourova, Laura Gómez CardeñoAcceso abiertohttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2Ecos de Economía, Vol. 23, Núm. 49 (2019)Credit Risk, Cost of Capital and Excessive Financial LeverageRiesgo de Crédito, Costo del Capital y Apalancamiento Financiero Excesivoarticleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlepublishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionArtículohttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_2df8fbb1DebtCost of debtCost of equityWACCTax shieldDeudaCosto de la deudaRiesgo de créditoCosto del patrimonioWACCBeneficio fiscalGutiérrez Betancur, Juan CarlosMejía Kambourova, DavidGómez Cardeño, LauraUniversidad EAFITEcos de economía23494570THUMBNAILminaitura-ecos_Mesa de trabajo 1.jpgminaitura-ecos_Mesa de trabajo 1.jpgimage/jpeg251248https://repository.eafit.edu.co/bitstreams/f82ae674-b6c1-4dcd-8489-779f13c228ae/download9b15d674b076c1793a0bc25cebb1bcefMD51ORIGINALdocument - 2020-09-12T172538.276.pdfdocument - 2020-09-12T172538.276.pdfTexto completo PDFapplication/pdf659872https://repository.eafit.edu.co/bitstreams/3fd9dc2e-95d6-498c-9823-1182345905d1/downloadc3eda3d6dba1b9f5e5da4e78c8ca5595MD52articulo - copia.htmlarticulo - copia.htmlTexto completo HTMLtext/html378https://repository.eafit.edu.co/bitstreams/fd388a5b-5e4b-4e0d-a7cf-5751966a4413/download28e3a2451e8788bc89458f79ffe1ac11MD5310784/17633oai:repository.eafit.edu.co:10784/176332020-09-12 17:27:50.112open.accesshttps://repository.eafit.edu.coRepositorio Institucional Universidad EAFITrepositorio@eafit.edu.co
