               "An               organization's               cost               of               capital               is               equated               with               the               compensation               that               is               required               by               an               investor               to               encourage               them               to               supply               capital               for               a               new               business               venture               or               project.

Any               use               of               capital               must               earn               at               least               its               cost               of               capital,"               (Cousins,               n.d.).

Another               definition               of               the               term               "cost               of               capital"               is               "the               cost               of               opportunity               (opportunity               cost)               of               an               investment,"               (Cost               of               Capital,               n.d.).

It               is               a               major               component               in               the               long-term,               financial               decision               making               process               of               organizations.
               "The               total               cost               of               capital               or               the               weighted               cost               of               capital               (WACC)               takes               into               account               several               factors               including               several               types               of               long-term               capital.

These               types               include               long-term               debt,               preferred               stock,               bonds,               and               common               equity               which               in               itself               includes               retained               earnings               and               sale               of               new               common               stock,"               (Zaki               Live               Chat,               2011).

The               formula               for               calculating               the               weighted               average               cost               of               capital,               ra,               is               as               follows:
               ra               =               [wi               X               ri]               +               [wp               X               rp]               +               [ws               X               rr               or               n]
               Definitions               of               variables:
               wi               =               share               of               long-term               debt               in               capital               structure
               wp               =               share               of               preferred               stock               in               capital               structure
               ws               =               share               of               common               stock               in               capital               structure
               ri               =               after-tax               cost               of               debt
               rp               =               expense               of               preferred               stock
               rr               =               expense               of               retained               earnings
               n               =               amount               of               years               to               the               bond's               maturity
               As               one               can               see               from               the               above               formula,               "the               particular               price               paid               for               each               type               of               financing               is               taken               into               consideration               when               computing               the               weighted               average               cost               of               capital,               commensurate               with               its               corresponding               proportion               within               the               capital               structure.

The               after-tax               expense               of               debt,               ri,               is               the               after-tax               expense               of               obtaining               long-term               capital               through               lending.

The               expense               of               preferred               stock,               rp,               is               the               ratio               of               the               preferred               stock               dividend               to               the               organization's               net               earnings               from               the               sale               of               the               preferred               stock.

The               final               variable               in               the               WACC               equation               is               the               cost               of               retained               earnings               or               rr,               which               is               the               cost               of               an               equivalent               fully               subscribed               issue               of               additional               common               stock,"               (Gitman,               2009,               p.

510-515).

Although,               it               should               be               noted               that               the               expenses               correlated               with               acquiring               capital               from               the               earnings               of               current               stockholders               in               lieu               of               new               stockholders               is               not               the               same.

Acquiring               capital               from               retained               earnings               involves               the               rate               of               return               deemed               necessary               by               the               stockholders               while               new               stock               capital               adds               an               extra               expense               called               flotation.
               The               market               rate               is               the               current               interest               rate               at               any               particular               time.

The               cost               of               capital               is               directly               influenced               by               the               interest               rate               charged               by               lenders               or               required               by               investors               therefore               fluctuations               in               the               market               rate               have               to               be               accounted               for               when               calculating               the               WACC.

These               fluctuations               can               either               increase               or               decrease               the               WACC               according               to               whether               the               market               rates               go               up               or               down.

The               same               holds               true               for               a               company's               perceived               market               risk.

"If               consumer               demand               for               the               product               or               service               decreases,               either               due               to               loss               of               business               to               competitors               or               a               modification               in               normal               economic               conditions,               the               amount               of               risk               associated               to               investors               will               increase               greatly.

When               a               company's               risk               factor               is               deemed               to               be               increased               due               to               outside               elements               that               are               beyond               the               control               of               the               company               to               regulate               or               remedy,               chances               of               drawing               new               investors               is               severely               limited,"               (Zaki               Live               Chat,               2011).

If               this               occurs,               the               cost               of               obtaining               capital               from               these               investors               will               go               up,               thus               increasing               the               WACC.

Another               factor               that               can               influence               an               organization's               WACC               is               its               capital               structure.

Capital               structure               is               the               "combination               of               long-term               debt               and               equity               sustained               by               a               firm.

The               degree               of               leverage               in               an               organization's               capital               structure               can               notably               influence               its               worth               by               affecting               return               and               risk.

Increases               in               leverage               can               result               in               increased               return               and               risk               and               vice               versa,"               (Gitman,               2009,               p.

546).
               Risk               can               be               described               as               the               possibility               of               loss.

The               higher               the               opportunity               for               loss;               the               higher               the               risk               is.

Obviously,               the               lower               the               opportunity               there               is               for               loss               the               lower               the               risk.

Market               risk               is               defined               as               "the               chance               that               the               value               of               an               investment               will               fall               or               deteriorate               because               of               market               elements               that               are               not               necessarily               related               to               the               investment               itself               such               as               social,               political               and               economic               events,"               (Gitman,               2009,               p.

228-9).

"There               are               three               basic               categories               that               financial               manager's               fall               into               regarding               their               accepted               level               of               risk               ranging               from               risk               intolerant               to               risk               hunters.

These               include               the               risk-indifferent,               the               risk-averse,               and               the               risk-seeking.

There               are               also               methods               that               can               be               used               to               assess               the               level               of               risk               of               an               investment               which               include               scenario               analysis               and               probability               distributions,"               (Gitman,               2009,               232-4).
               "Market               risk               can               be               gauged               quantitatively               by               using               statistics.

Two               statistics               that               are               utilized               in               gauging               risk               are               the               standard               deviation               and               the               coefficient               of               variation.

These               two               statistics               gauge               the               volatility               of               asset               returns.

The               standard               deviation               gauges               the               proclivity               of               distribution               around               the               forecasted               value               or               the               most               anticipated               return               of               an               investment               or               asset.

Similarly,               the               coefficient               of               variation               (CV)               can               be               described               as               a               method               used               to               gauge               the               relative               distribution               which               is               useful               in               examining               the               risks               of               investments               with               dissimilar               forecasted               returns.

The               greater               the               CV               the               higher               the               risk;               consequently               the               higher               the               forecasted               return.

The               standard               deviation               expresses               the               coefficient               of               variation               as               a               percentage               of               the               mean.

Both               of               these               methods               of               calculating               risk               are               interconnected               and               serve               as               a               useful               means               of               risk               determination.
