We&#8217;ll explain both methods:<\/p><ol><li><strong>Capital asset pricing model (CAPM)<\/strong>: The CAPM calculates the cost of equity based on the risk-free rate of return, the expected market return, and the company&#8217;s beta (a measure of the stock&#8217;s volatility relative to the overall market).<br \/><br \/>The formula for calculating the cost of equity using CAPM is: <br \/><strong>Cost of equity = Risk &#8211; free rate + beta \u00d7 (market return &#8211; risk &#8211;\u00a0 free rate)<\/strong><br \/><br \/>Here&#8217;s how to calculate it:<br \/>1. Determine the risk-free rate: Find the current risk-free rate, usually the yield on <a href=\"https:\/\/swoopfunding.com\/za\/business-glossary\/government-bond\/\">government bonds<\/a>, with a similar maturity to the investment horizon.<br \/>2. Determine the market return: Estimate the expected return of the overall market, typically using historical market data.<br \/>3. Determine the company&#8217;s beta: Beta measures the sensitivity of the company&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/swoopfunding.com\/za\/business-glossary\/stock\/\">stock<\/a> price to market fluctuations. You can find beta values for publicly traded companies from financial websites or databases.<br \/>4. Plug in the values into the formula: Substitute the risk-free rate, market return, and company&#8217;s beta into the formula to calculate the cost of equity.<\/li><\/ol><ol start=\"2\"><li><strong>Dividend discount model (DDM)<\/strong>: The DDM calculates the cost of equity based on the company&#8217;s expected dividends and the expected growth rate of those dividends.<br \/><br \/>The formula for calculating the cost of equity using DDM is:<br \/><strong>Cost of equity = Dividends per share \/ stock price + dividend growth rate<br \/><\/strong><br \/>Here&#8217;s how to calculate it:<br \/>1. Determine the expected dividends per share: Estimate the expected dividends the company will pay to its shareholders in the future. This can be based on historical dividends or projected future dividends.<br \/>2. Determine the current stock price: Find the current market price per share of the company&#8217;s stock.<br \/>3. Determine the expected dividend growth rate: Estimate the rate at which the company&#8217;s dividends are expected to grow over time.<br \/>4. Plug in the values into the formula: Substitute the dividends per share, stock price, and dividend growth rate into the formula to calculate the cost of equity.<\/li><\/ol><p>Please note that both methods have their limitations and should be used in conjunction with other financial analysis tools when evaluating the cost of equity.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c285cd0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"c285cd0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Cost of equity vs. cost of debt: What is the Difference?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f3237d8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f3237d8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The cost of equity and the cost of debt are two components of a company&#8217;s overall cost of capital. While the cost of equity represents the return required by equity investors, the cost of debt refers to the interest rate a company pays on its borrowed funds, such as loans and bonds. The key difference lies in the source of financing and the associated risks. Equity investors typically seek higher returns to compensate for the greater risk they assume compared to debt
