Key Term Definitions:
•  Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WAAC): A calculation that weighs each category of capital to determine a firm's cost of capital. It encompasses various sources of capital, including common stock, preferred stock, bonds, and long-term debt, in the calculation.
•  Cash Flow: The net amount of cash and cash-equivalents moving into and out of a business.
•  Internal Rate of Return (IRR): A financial analysis metric estimating the profitability of potential investments. IRR is the discount rate that makes the Net Present Value (NPV) of all cash flows zero in a discounted cash flow analysis.
•  Net Present Value (NPV): A method used to ascertain the current value of all future cash flows generated by a project, including the initial capital investment. It aids in evaluating projects likely to yield the highest profit.
•  Return on Equity (ROE): A measure of a business's profitability relative to equity. ROE indicates the profit generated for each dollar of shareholder's equity.
