Objective 2 Students will estimate the appropriate cost of capital for the firm.

Measure 1

The unit decided not to assess this objective going forward because the negative impact of student error(s) would have resulted in incorrect values for the time value of money (Objective 3) and/or the valuation calculation (Objective 4). As a replacement, an alternative second objective of evaluating projects based on supplied cash flows was measured. Student average on the new objective 2 was 3.2 and 75% of the students performed at level 3 or above on the four-point scale rubric. This positive result indicates that students in the capstone class are retaining capital budgeting methods, one of the key components of finance curriculum.
