Weighted Average Cost of Capital
In class discussion:
This section trains the student to calculate the cost of financing from the firm's point of view. It assumes the student is experienced at valuing different securities from the investors point of view. With slight modifications, the valuation techniques used by investors can be used by firms issuing securities to calculate the annual costs associated with a particular type of firm financing. Once the costs of individual types of financing are known, the firms weighted average cost of capital can be calculated.
