edXValuing a firm starts with estimating what its cash flows are worth. This course cuts through the mystery by teaching you to measure risk, calculate expected returns, and determine a company's cost of capital—then proves it works through hands-on Excel modeling.
You'll learn the machinery: how to extract risk from historical data, how capital structure (debt vs. equity) reshapes that risk, and how WACC serves as the discount rate that turns future cash into today's value. The Excel models aren't busywork—they're your toolkit for investment decisions, corporate finance analysis, and understanding valuation debates in the real world.
In this course, you will learn to estimate the expected return of equity and debt. You will also learn to estimate the weighted average cost of capital (WACC), the opportunity cost of capital you should use when discounting the free cash flows to value a firm.
In the process, you will learn to estimate the risk of financial assets and how use this measure of risk to calculate expected returns. You will also learn how the capital structure of a firm affects the riskiness of its equity and debt. Throughout the course, you will learn how to construct Excel models to value firms using hands on activities.
