Session 9: The Right Financing Mix

In this session, I look at the trade offs on using debt, and how the cost of capital can be used as an optimizing tool to determine the right mix of debt and equity for a firm. Slides: https://www.stern.nyu.edu/~adamodar/pdfiles/execcf/session9.pdf (This is a blast from the past, since these are recordings of a corporate finance class that I taught in the Stern Trium MBA program in January 2016. That said, corporate finance first principles don't magically change over time, and while nothing is timeless, the lessons hold up. The class was a three-day class, with twelve recordings of about an hour and a half each.
