Weighted Average Cost of Capital
*      The market value of the capital rather than the nominal value is used in calculating the cost of capital.
*      Different investment opportunities are likely to have different levels of risk and so the cost of capital for each project should be adjusted accordingly.
*      The capital structure of the business is assumed to remain stable.
*      Measurement problems related to the use of weighted average cost of capital include identification of dividend growth rate to use in the dividend growth model.
