Hi John,
How does FOREX risk effect cost of capital? Thank you in advance.

Ask the Tutor ACCA AFM
currency
If the business has transactions in a foreign currency or has borrowing in a foreign currency, then the foreign exchange risk involved makes the business as a whole more risky.
If the business is more risky then shareholders will want a higher return, this increases the cost of equity which in turn will increase the WACC.
Thank you for your prompt reply!
You are welcome :-)
