    It is commonly computed using the capital asset pricing model formula: Cost of equity = Risk free rate of return + Premium expected for risk Cost of equity = Risk free rate of return + Beta × (market rate of return – risk free rate of return) where Beta = sensitivity to movements in the relevant market. Thus in symbols we have

    Such costs are separated into a firm's cost of debt and cost of equity and attributed to these two kinds of capital sources. A firm's overall cost of capital, which consists of the two types of capital costs, is then determined as the weighted average cost of capital. Knowing a firm's cost of capital is needed in order to make better decisions.

    Cost of new equity should be the adjusted cost for any underwriting fees termed flotation costs (F): K e = D 1 /P 0 (1-F) + g; where F = flotation costs, D 1 is dividends, P 0 is price of the stock, and g is the growth rate. There are 3 ways of calculating K e: Capital Asset Pricing Model; Dividend Discount Method; Bond Yield Plus Risk Premium ...

    [10] [11] The CAPM, for example, can be derived by linking risk aversion to overall market return, and restating for price. [9] Black-Scholes can be derived by attaching a binomial probability to each of numerous possible spot-prices (i.e. states) and then rearranging for the terms in its formula.

    Once an asset's expected return, (), is calculated using CAPM, the future cash flows of the asset can be discounted to their present value using this rate to establish the correct price for the asset. A riskier stock will have a higher beta and will be discounted at a higher rate; less sensitive stocks will have lower betas and be discounted at ...

    The discount rate used to calculate the tax shield is assumed to be equal to the cost of debt capital (thus, the tax shield has the same risk as debt). This and the constant debt assumption in (1) imply that the tax shield is proportionate to the market value of debt: Tax Shield = T×D.
