    Discussing about the RETURN ON CAPITAL (ROC) and COST OF CAPITAL: We need to study clearly before investing our money into a certain business making sure we are investing a project that will give us a Return on capital (ROC)which is greater than the cost of capital. Thoroughly check that your cost of capital should be lower than your return on capital (ROC)in order to generate a yearly income without losing a single cent.

    This topic relates to the consumption in which sometimes mistakenly thought to be an investment because you are creating something that beautify the area of your house. Since you are spending it, it is a consumption while investment is the amount of money that you put into some useful benefits in order to create more value than the original amount you have.

    learning the process of how investors get paid with good interest rates; making right decisions in choosing very carefully who are your debtors, who can pay you the interest that won't make your company go down under...very informative
