Abstract

The cost of capital is a foundational concept in financial management that represents the minimum return required by investors for providing funds to a firm. It functions as a critical benchmark in evaluating investment opportunities and shaping long-term financial strategies. This paper analyzes the conceptual framework of cost of capital, its major components, and its application in strategic financial decisions such as capital budgeting, capital structure optimization, and firm valuation. The study highlights how effective management of the cost of capital contributes to value maximization and sustainable corporate growth in an increasingly complex financial environment.
