Abstract

Corporate financial decision-making is heavily influenced by the cost of capital, which is the lowest rate of return needed to appease investors and maintain the value of the business. To improve financial performance and attain long-term sustainability, it is vital to efficiently control the cost of capital. In this analysis, we look at how some companies' financial performances were affected by the cost of capital. Various indicators are used to measure the cost of capital, including cost of debt, cost of equity, and weighted average cost of capital (WACC). On the other hand, profitability metrics like return on assets (ROA), return on equity (ROE), net profit margin (NPM), and earnings per share (EPS) are used to assess financial performance.
