Cost of Equity

The cost of equity, often expressed as the required rate of return on capital, which is generally calculated using CAPM. It can be also calculated using valuation ratios. It will be necessary in any case, the various classes in company shares rate. Their weighted average is the cost of equity.

Firms need to raise capital from other activities and to expand. Individuals and organizations who are willing to provide resources to others, of course, the desire to be rewarded. Just as landlords are looking for rentals, private equity investors in search of sources of income, which must be proportionate to the risk taken.

According to the theory of finance, it increases the risk of the business (falling) cost of capital increases (decreases). This theory is the observation of human behavior and logic: the venture capital funds expect prices to supply others. Service providers are generally reasonable and prudent rather than risk their safety. They obviously need more as an incentive to invest their capital in riskier rather than safer. If the risk increases investment, investors demand higher returns, or they put their money elsewhere.
