In this video, Professor Linus Wilson calculates the weighted average cost of debt using FINRA data. Calculating the cost of debt is important for corporations making capital budgeting decisions as a key component of the company cost of capital as measured by the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC). Finding a company’s cost of debt is important for business valuation.
FINRA stands for the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.
