Cost of capital is arguably the most important concept in all of finance, as it is the expected rate of return that market participants require to attract funds to an investment. The cost of capital estimate is the essential link that enables a business to convert a stream of expected income into an estimate of present value.

The Lawyer’s Guide to the Cost of Capital provides the most comprehensive survey of cost of capital case law across jurisdictions and venues. Cost of capital is a key topic in the valuation of business interests, particularly interests in closely held entities, and it offers attorneys, judges, and valuation experts with a comprehensive sourcebook for understanding the basis of a business valuation and for background in examining and cross-examining expert witnesses.

In the book’s first ten chapters, the authors present the basics of the cost of capital in almost any situation, with topics that include valuing equity versus invested capital, net cash flow, discounting and capitalizing, estimating the cost of equity capital, adjusting a discount or capitalization rate for another economic income measure, weighted averages, excess earnings method of valuation, and handling discounts for lack of marketability and liquidity.

In Part III, the authors provide information for understanding and evaluating an expert’s report, presenting frequently encountered errors in valuation reports and providing key questions to ask when examining witnesses in litigation.
