Why wouldn't you just take the AR balance and discount it by your WACC? Wouldn't the DSO just tell you how to compound your WACC?

EG: Your boy has 500 in AR and his DSO is 90, WACC 8%. The PV of your DSO is the 500/(1+WACC^(1/4)), where 1/4 is 90/360, so 490. Your cost per 90 days outstanding is 10.

That's right. Thanks for that, it was bugging me.
