PROGRAMMÜBERSICHT ZU DIESEM 1 -TAGESKURS AUF Englisch

Long term financial decisions should be based on the question if making the investment (in a new project or asset), will it provide the required rate of return.

The cost of capital provides such an answer and it plays a key role in financial decision making across the organisation and is used in project appraisals, project finance, company valuation, mergers and acquisitions etc.

At its basic level the formula of the weighted average cost of capital is easy to understand, though in reality the theory behind it, is fraught with problems. This course will take you through the key theories and concepts and challenges these concepts when estimating the cost debt and the cost of equity.

You will learn about 

  • The key theories used for calculating the cost of debt and the cost of equity
  • The hurdle rate versus WACC
  • Learn why managers change the cost of capital in practise
  • How to select market and book values
  • Gordons growth model
  • The Capital Asset Pricing model
  • The market risk premium
  • Using Beta as a company's risk benchmark versus the market
  • Credit risk and ratings
  • The effects on capital expenditure projects
  •  International considerations
  • How to apply the theories in more or less efficient markets
  •  How to challenge conventional theory, when the risk-free rate, beta and equity risk premium are not available or has diverted from its norm
  • Understand the relationship between gearing and the cost of capital.

Recommended background

The course is designed for all professionals involved in long term planning, using, in need to calculate or to challenge the weighted average cost of capital. Understand its role and application as a discount factor or the effects on the capital structure. You could be working for a consulting firm, a public or private company, a family business, a bank or private equity firm.

Course format

This course will be taught using a combination of formal instructions, combined with practical and interactive exercises to reinforce the concepts taught in each section of the course.

Practice-based learning and critical engagement is a key theme through all our courses allowing delegates to acquire the needed skills and techniques to be applied as soon as they are learned and developed.

A Theory of the Firm's Cost of Capital - Ramesh K S Rao
A Theory of the Firm's Cost of Capital - Ramesh K S Rao

The cost of capital concept has myriad applications in business decision-making. The standard methodology for deriving cost of capital estimates is based on the seminal Modigliani-Miller analyses. This book generalizes this framework to include non-debt tax shields (e.g., depreciation), interactions between the borrowing rate and tax shields, and default considerations. It develops several new results and shows how better cost of capital and marginal tax rate estimates can be generated. The book's unified cost of capital theory is discussed with comprehensive numerical examples and graphical illustrations.This book will be of interest to corporate managers, academics, investment bankers, governmental agencies, and private companies that generate cost of capital estimates for public consumption.

Cost of Capital: Applications and Examples - Shannon P. Pratt, Roger J. Grabowski

"Completely revised for this highly anticipated fifth edition, Cost of Capital contains expanded materials on estimating the basic building blocks of the cost of equity capital, the risk-free rate, and equity risk premium. There is also discussion of the volatility created by the financial crisis in 2008, the subsequent recession and uncertain recovery, and how those events have fundamentally changed how we need to interpret the inputs to the models we use to develop these estimates.

The Cost of Capital - Eva Porras Gonzalez

The relationship between risk, return and the cost of capital is contextualized by relating it to the needs of investors and borrowers, the historical evidence, and theories of choice and behavior.
