5.When operating your own business, it is wise to know your cost of capital and that of the industry. Identify the industry or sector that your (current or future) business belongs to, find its cost of capital information using the following data sources:
Cost of Capital by Sector_From a NYU Professor (this site has much more sectors included, but you may get lost if not familiar with some of the terms the professor used. The data he provided is also quite different from the sites below. If you want to use this source, try to watch the 5-minute tutorial video made by the professor to gain a better understanding.)
WACC by Sector (to see the detailed information on a selected sector, select the name of the sector in the search box)... provide WACC summary of the sector. Correction: The comma used in the data is the decimal point. (For example, 0,30% should be 0.3%) Use decimal point rather than comma when copying the information onto your post.
WACC Expert (this source may not have the most current information, but if your company is operated outside of the U.S., you might be able to find the cost of capital of a sector in a foreign country on this site)
6. Based on the information you provided in question 5, identify what is the major financing source for the sector that you selected, is it debt financing (i.e. loans or bond financing), or equity financing (via stock or venture capital financing)?
