The standard methodology for deriving cost of capital estimates is based on the seminal Modigliani-Miller analyses. This book generalizes this framework to include non-debt tax shields (e.g., depreciation), interactions between the borrowing rate and tax shields, and default considerations. It develops several new results and shows how better cost of capital and marginal tax rate estimates can be generated. The book's unified cost of capital theory is discussed with comprehensive numerical examples and graphicalCorporationsFinanceCapital costsCorporate debtCapital assets pricing modelFinancial leverageCorporationsFinance.Capital costs.Corporate debt.Capital assets pricing model.Financial leverage.338.6/04101Rao Ramesh K.
