Learning Objective

  • To identify the uses for the Weighted Average Cost of Capital Model.
  • To analyze how to calculate the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC).
  • To discuss areas where the valuation professional’s professional judgment is needed.
  • To explain how to support your professional judgment.

Course Overview

This online course is designed to be a supplement to the introductory course on Business Valuations. 

The weighted average cost of capital (WACC) represents a firm’s average after-tax cost of capital from all sources, including common stock, preferred stock, bonds, and other forms of debt. It is the average rate that a company expects to pay to finance its assets.

This CPE Business Valuation webinar will cover what is needed to calculate the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) and where business valuators use the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC). 

There will be a step-by-step walkthrough of the process and examples will be provided (The examples are for demonstrative purposes only, and are not from a real engagement). We will discuss areas where the valuation professional’s professional judgment is needed and how to support your professional judgment.

Key topics covered: 

  • Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC)
  • WACC Breakdown
  • Advantages of Using the CAPM
  • WACC Calculation Reasonability Check

This CPE course by Dr. Robert Minniti is appropriate for anyone interested in business valuations or developing business plans.
