In economics and accounting, the cost of capital is the cost of a company's funds (both debt and equity), or, from an investor's point of view the required rate of return on a portfolio company's existing securities.It is used to evaluate new projects of a company.his means, for instance, that the past cost of debt is not a good indicator of the actual forward looking cost of debt. Once cost of debt and cost of equity have been determined, their blend, the weighted average cost of capital (WACC), can be calculated.
The weighted average cost of capital is the average interest rate a company must pay to finance its assets. As such, it is also the minimum average rate of return it must earn on its current assets to satisfy its shareholders or owners, its investors, and its creditors.ACC = .50(5.85) + .50(6.5) = 6.175%. If your company uses debt and equity financing in the way suggested above, the company's weighted average cost of capital will be 6.175%. If you add other sources of financing, you will need to add their component costs, such as that for new equity or preferred stock.
