Webinar Description
The cost of capital plays a critical role in investment decisions, performance measurement, and long‑term value creation—but how do organizations determine and apply it in practice? Drawing on findings from the 2026 AFP® Cost of Capital Survey, this webinar explores how treasury and finance teams calculate weighted average cost of capital (WACC), establish hurdle rates, and incorporate cost of capital assumptions into capital budgeting and strategic planning decisions. Attendees will gain insights into governance, methodologies, and emerging practices across cost of debt, cost of equity, and project evaluation techniques, grounded in responses from corporate treasury and finance professionals using actual techniques to download.
