Chapter 13, Problem 1CQ
Project Risk If you can borrow all the money you need for a project at 6 percent, doesn’t it follow that 6 percent is your cost of capital for the project?
Expert Solution & Answer
Summary Introduction
To determine: The respond to the given statement.
Introduction:
The cost of capital is the WACC (Weighted Average Cost of Capital) is the total rate of return for a company which anticipates reimbursing all their investors. It is considered as a financing resource in the target capital structure of a company and it measured in terms of weights of fractions.
Explanation of Solution
Statement: If money borrowed at 6% doesn’t it follow that 6% percent as cost of capital for the project?
“No the statement is false”
Reason:
Because the cost of capital of a project is based on the riskiness of a project. Additionally the origin of money will not considered as cost of capital.
