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.

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.
