This chapter provided an extensive discussion on promoting entrepreneurship education using capital asset pricing model (CAPM) and Gordon dividend discount Model in the valuation of cost of equity. Researchers have debated on the valid model for valuation cost of equity capital. There are two main models that can be used in the valuation of cost of equity capital; these are CAPM and the Gordon dividend discount model. The Gordon dividend discount model proposed by Myron Gordon is grounded on conventional assumptions. Gordon dividend discount model is built around the future value of dividends expected by the company's shareholders in line with the anticipated growth rate provided. However, CAPM sets its estimation of determining the expected return of a single asset on beta coefficient (β), which is difficult to predict. Predicting of β is based on a company's historical returns and the model asserts that historical returns of a company's stock can help in determining the future return of that stock. Practically, this is undoubtedly difficult to ascertain.
