TLDR
In this article, the authors proposed two alternative methodologies for project and firm valuations: the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) and the Adjusted Present Value (APV).Abstract:
Miller and Modigliani's seminal papers (1958, 1963) gave rise to two alternative methodologies for project and firm valuations: the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) and Adjusted Present Value (APV). As is often the case of many larger firms in industrialized economies, whenever a target debt ratio is set up for the long term, WACC might be a good approximation. However, APV has certain advantages making it more convenient for smaller companies with unstable debt ratios, in countries with complex tax legislation and in emerging markets where high economic uncertainty makes the leveraging decision much more opportunistic.read more

The Value of Tax Shields is Not Equal to the Present Value of Tax Shields
TL;DR: For constant growth companies, the value of tax shields in a world with no leverage cost is the present value of the debt, times the tax rate, and the unlevered cost of equity, discounted at the average of the two present values as discussed by the authors.
