Chapter 12 Cost of Capital

PLEASE NOTE: This book is currently in draft form; material is not final.

Investors expect a profit. Very few investors would be willing to hand over money if they didn’t expect to receive more back! Therefore, each dollar of capital raised by a company has a cost associated with it.
