To Access This Course:
This course provides a comprehensive analysis on how to calculate and use a company’s cost of capital. The cost of capital is calculated for a company’s debt, preferred stock and common stock. Once the cost for each item of the capital structure is determined, the company can calculate its weighted average cost of capital (WACC). The WACC is the discount rate used to evaluate all investments made by the company.

This was a good solid foundational course that covered everything you would want to consider in calculating a cost of capital. Mr. Ori explained everything in a clear and concise manner with slides that were helpful in illustrating his points. Obviously a course of this topic assumes some basic financial background.

This was a rather basic course for anyone vaguely familiar with the material from their college Corporate Finance course. For those in other fields, or for those who have completing forgotten Corporate Finance principles, it is a good review of the basics.

Well organized presentation that provided definitions on key terms and equations for key calculations. Presenter provided a company as an example along with calculations related to that company in an easy to understand format.
