Valuation: Book plus CD-ROM The classic McKinsey book bundled with a CD-ROM containing various valuation model spreadsheets related to the book's concepts.

The models simplify your work significantly. The user inputs historical income statement and balance sheet information. The spreadsheet will then calculate NOPLAT, invested capital, ROIC, economic profit, free cash flow, and supporting ratios, including an ROIC tree. Then input forecast assumptions, such as sales growth rates, margins, etc. The model converts these assumptions into projected income statements and balance sheets. Finally, the model uses the projected income statements and balance sheets to project free cash flow, economic profit, and other measures to estimate the value of the company.
