While this result is completely general with respect to the specific processes utilized by the market to value the two components, MM specified the value of the unlevered component as the present value of the unlevered cash flows discounted at the appropriate risk adjusted unlevered cost of capital and they specified the value of the tax savings component as the present value of the tax shield on interest discounted at the cost of debt. Accordingly, the value of a project's levered cash flows is specified as the sum of these two present values, one representing the effects of the investment decision and the other capturing the effects of the financing decision. The MM valuation model has been extended to normative capital budgeting analysis by Myers in terms of the adjusted present value (APV) model.
