Capitalization rate

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The capitalization interest rate is a compound interest rate made up of the base rate (not to be confused with the base rate regulated in the German Civil Code ) and the risk surcharge . In principle, both are to be determined by comparing opportunity costs, so they should reflect the return on alternative investments.

The base rate indicates the return on a risk-free alternative investment, while the risk premium indicates the difference between the higher average return that can be achieved with a risky investment and the base rate.
