def of cost of capital
7y ago#1That is not the definition.
The rate the investors want determines what the company has to pay (and therefore the cost to the company), but insofar as debt finance is concerned the company gets tax relief which makes the cost to the company lower.
Please do watch my free lectures on all of this :-)
