The Components of the Cost of Capital and Alternative Models

Chapter 2 in The Cost of Capital, 2011, pp 43-93 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract In our Chapter 1 example, Jane Doe was trying to optimize her investment decision about what to do with her savings. This was by no means an easy task given that, to optimize results, she first needed to determine what criterion would help her measure realistically the expected performance of her options. Hence she was forced to examine the utility she could derive from each investment alternative available to her at the time of her analysis.
