I have a complex summation equation that I'm trying to simplify. However, I keep getting a number of error messages that I can't figure out. the formula is as follows: wacc = ((rf +\[Beta] ((1 + tax) (d/(d + e))) (rf - rm)) (e/(d + e))) ((rf + (1 - (NormalPValue[(Log[(d/(d + e))]/((d/(d + e)) - 1)) (1/stde)])) r) (d/(d + e))) value = \!\( UnderoverscriptBox[\(\(\ \)\(\[Sum]\)\), \(t = 1\), \(\[Infinity]\)] \*FractionBox[\((ebitda \\_ t\ \((1 - tax)\))\), \(\((1 + wacc)\)^ t\)]\) + \!\( \*UnderoverscriptBox[\(\[Sum]\), \(t = 1\), \(\[Infinity]\)] \*FractionBox[\(\((dep \\_ t)\)\ tax\), \(\((1 + wacc)\)^ t\)]\) - \!\( \*UnderoverscriptBox[\(\[Sum]\), \(t = 1\), \(n\)] \*FractionBox[\(\((d \\_ 0 - \*UnderoverscriptBox[\(\[Sum]\), \(t = 1\), \(n\)]d \\_ \((t - 1)\))\) \((rf + 1 - \((NormalPValue[\(( \*FractionBox[\(Log[\((d/\((d + e)\))\)]\), \(\((d/\((d + e)\))\) - 1\)])\) \(( \*FractionBox[\(1\), \(stde\)])\)])\))\) r \((1 - tax)\)\), \(\((1 + wacc)\)^t\)]\) - \!\( \*UnderoverscriptBox[\(\[Sum]\), \(t = 1\), \(n\)] \*FractionBox[\(d \\_ 0/n\), \(\((1 + wacc)\)^t\)]\) - kinv \_ 0 and I get the following error messages: Syntax::sntxb: Expression cannot begin with "[ebitda \_t](1-tax)". Syntax::sntxi: Incomplete expression; more input is needed. I need help with this errors to be able to simplify this formula.
