Abstract
In the recent writings on valuation, there is no consensus about the correct formulas for calculating the relevant cost of capital in an M & M world. The proliferation of alpha number of methods and omega number of theories for the calculation of the cost of capital is puzzling because in the derivation of the original M & M result, the use of the no-arbitrage argument would suggest that there should only be a single result. In this non-technical, introductory teaching note, we would like to present a simple, general and unified approach to valuation in an M & M world. The Holy Grail in the Quest for Value (with alpha methods and omega theories) is rho, the required return to unlevered equity.
