This event may be a rebroadcast of a live event and the instructor will be available to answer your questions during the event.

Course Objectives

After attending this presentation you will be able to...
  • Recognize the difference between a discount rate and a capitalization rate and how to articulate this difference to clients and triers of facts
  • Explore sources of information used in each component of the traditional build-up model used to develop reliable and supportable discount rates.
  • Recognize the difference between a direct to equity method using a cap or discount rate versus the use of a weighted cost of capital model to value overall invested capital of an enterprise and why and when to use the two approaches.

Subjects

Participants receive a solid overview of the fundamental concepts underlying cost of capital in the context of a closely held business with particular focus on the use of a build-up model. Where the data comes from will be a key focus, as will the areas the require subjective judgement with respect to supporting growth rates and unsystematic risk elements.
