9. The Cost of Debt vs. the Cost of Equity
Debt
Its known and easier to determine
A cost / interest rate is charged to your company
Plus the interest is tax deductible
Based on the riskiness of your company
Equity (Stock)
The cost is based on investors expectations for return.
If you fail to deliver the return , then your stock price will drop
and you will trouble attracting investors
Because there is more risk in equity to an investor, the
expected return will always be higher than the interest rate
charged for a loan
Unless you have too much debt

11. Price to Earnings
The price-earnings ratio (P/E Ratio) is the ratio for
valuing a company that measures its
current share price relative to its per-share earnings.
The price-earnings ratio can be calculated as:
Market Value per Share / Earnings per Share
For example, suppose that a company is currently
trading at $43 a share and its earnings over the last 12
months were $1.95 per share. The P/E ratio for the
stock could then be calculated as 43/1.95, or 22.05.
12. Earnings per share
Earnings per share (EPS) is the portion of a company's
profit allocated to each outstanding share of common
stock. Earnings per share serves as an indicator of a
company's profitability.
Net Income / Shares of Stock
13. Debt to Equity
The D/E ratio indicates how much debt a company
is using to finance its assets relative to the amount
of value represented shareholders’ equity.
Debt /Equity Ratio = Total Liabilities/Shareholders' Equity
14. Return on Equity
Return on equity (ROE) is the amount of net
income returned as a percentage
of shareholders equity.
Return on equity measures a corporation's
profitability by revealing how much profit a
company generates with the money shareholders
have invested.
Return on Equity = Net Income/Shareholder's Equity
15. Beta
Beta is a measure of the volatility, or systematic risk, of
a security or a portfolio in comparison to the market as
a whole
16. Market Cap
Market capitalization is the total dollar
market value of all of a company's
outstanding shares.
Market capitalization is calculated by
multiplying a company's shares
outstanding by the current market price of
one share.
The investment community uses this figure
to determine a company's size, as opposed
to sales or total asset figures.
