Composite cost<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The composite cost of capital is the weighted average of the costs of all the different sources of capital a company uses. It is calculated by multiplying the cost of each source of capital by its proportion of the total capital and then adding up the products.<\/p>\n<p>The cost of capital is an important concept in finance because it is the rate of return that a company must earn on its investments in order to satisfy its investors. If a company&#8217;s return on investment is less than its cost of capital, then it is not generating enough profit to cover its costs and will eventually go out of business.<\/p>\n<p>There are a number of different sources of capital that a company can use, including debt, equity, and retained earnings. The cost of each source of capital will vary depending on a number of factors, such as the riskiness of the investment, the maturity of the debt, and the tax treatment of the income.<\/p>\n<p>The composite cost of capital is used in a number of financial calculations, such as the capital budgeting process and the valuation of a company. It is also used to set the hurdle rate for new investments.<\/p>\n<p>The other options are incorrect because:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A. Specific cost is the cost of a particular source of capital, such as debt or equity.<\/li>\n<li>C. Implicit cost is the cost of using resources that are owned by the company, such as labor or equipment.<\/li>\n<li>D. Simple average cost is the average of the costs of all the different sources of capital, without taking into account their proportions of the total capital.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[amp_mcq option1=&#8221;Specific cost&#8221;
