I wonder if the directors of NNN are as creative as their company name. Gotta keep things interesting, am I right?

I agree, C is important too as it takes into account the weighted average cost of capital.

Hmm, I'm not sure about option D. Discounting the cash flow to equity at the cost of equity AND subtracting the debt value? Seems like overkill to me.

Option B and C seem like the most appropriate methods for valuing the company's equity. Discounting the cash flow to all investors at WACC is a solid approach.
