Description

This course focuses on the fundamental concepts for determining discount and capitalization rates for use in business and intellectual property appraisal assignments.

This event may be a rebroadcast of a live event and the instructor will be available to answer your questions during the event.

Highlights

Participants receive a solid overview of the fundamental concepts underlying cost of capital in the context of a closely held business with particular focus on the use of a build-up model. Where the data comes from will be a key focus, as will the areas the require subjective judgement with respect to supporting growth rates and unsystematic risk elements.
