Up to this point however we ve focused mainly on the economic benefits obtained from investing in and operating a business. Now we ll deal in more specific terms with the economic costs associated with business decisions. For example during our discussion of financial leverage in Chapter 6 we encountered the special profit impact that is caused by the cost of long-term debt funds. We demonstrated how such fixed-cost obligations introduce magnified earnings fluctuations at different levels of profitability. In Chapters 7 and 8 we referred to the overall cost of long-term capital as a main criterion by which to judge the desirability of business investments. We established that only projects providing a time-adjusted cash flow return above the cost of capital will create value for the company s shareholders. In this chapter we ll discuss in greater detail the cost of various types of capital employed in a business examine how this cost is measured and in what form and for which purposes this economic reality should affect business decision making. We ll begin by sketching out the types of decisions for which cost of capital considerations are important. Then we ll discuss the cost of the different types of capital used including operating funds long-term debt and shareholder equity preferred stock and common equity . Given the specific costs of each of these types of capital we ll derive an approach to determining the overall corporate weighted cost of capital and discuss the use of this cost concept in relation to the various return standards for business investments. We applied the cost of capital-based standards to the examples in Chapters 7 and 8 and we ll use them again in Chapters 11 and 12. As usual the chapter will end
