Cost of Capital

The rate of return that a company must pay to its capital providers, including both equity and debt holders, for using their capital in the business.

The stress or difficulty a company faces in securing funds to finance its operations or expand its business.

Liquidity

The extent to which an asset or security can be quickly bought or sold in the market without affecting its price.

Payback Period

The number of years it takes a firm to recover its project investment. Payback does not capture a project’s entire cash flow stream and is thus not the preferred evaluation method. Note, however, that the payback does measure a project’s liquidity, and hence many firms use it as a risk measure.
