Cost of capital is the required rate of return that investors expect from their investments, representing a cost to the company while being a return to investors. It is divided into cost of equity (return to shareholders who are risk-takers expecting dividends or capital appreciation) and cost of debt (return to debt holders who require guaranteed interest and principal repayment). The cost of equity is typically higher than cost of debt because equity holders bear more risk, are paid last during liquidation, and receive returns only when the company makes profits. Cost of equity can be estimated using the Dividend Valuation Model (without growth: D1/MV; with growth: D1(1+G)/MV + G) or the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM: RF + β(RM - RF)). Growth rates can be estimated through extrapolation (geometric mean of dividend series) or Gordon's Growth Model (G = ROE × Retention Ratio).
