Find the Cost of DEBT with free FINRA data
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.
