Unit VIII Discussion

Think about Unit VIII and the importance of understanding the cost of capital to a business. Comment on why it is important, and explain why as debt increases (in capital structure), eventually the WACC will increase (despite the fact debt is usually the lower cost component cost of capital). How does your current or past company, or one you know of, decide on its cost of capital? Finally, What assignments/assessments from this course aligned with your profession? How can the lessons you have learned positively affect your career success (now or in the future)?
