Summary Introduction
To discuss: The approach to use a security’s beta for estimating the cost of capital.
Introduction:
Cost of capital refers to the return that the investors expect on a particular investment. In other words, it refers to the compensation demanded by the investors for using their capital.
Beta is an important indicator of the risk of a security. It measures the systematic risk of a risky investment by comparing the risky investment with the average risky asset in the market.
