Conceptually, there are two ways you can get the value of
an asset:
Calculate the value of what the asset provides
that is, compute the present value of the expected cash flows
Calculate the value of all claims to the asset
for example, compute the value of a company y adding up all the
claims investors have on the company!s cash flows

diidend account, then this alue in no wise depends on what the co!pany#s
capitali$ation is% Clearly, if a single indiidual or a single institutional inestor
owned all the "onds, stocks, and warrants issued "y a corporation, it would not
!atter to this inestor what the co!pany#s capitali$ation was (e&cept for details

collected as diidends% o such an indiidual it would "e perfectly o"ious that
total interest and diidendpaying power was in no wise dependent on the kind
