What is WACC in a DCF valuation model?

Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) represents the average rate of return a company expects to pay to its investors. In startup DCF models, WACC is used as the discount rate to discount future cash flows.

How does the perpetual growth rate affect DCF valuation?

The perpetual (terminal) growth rate is the rate at which the business is assumed to grow indefinitely after the forecast period. Small changes in this rate heavily influence the terminal value and overall enterprise valuation.
