The value sacrifice a company incurs for capital employed. The capital cost of equity capital is dividends, while that of debt capital is interest paid. When employed capital is composed of both types of capital, the total capital cost differs depending on the capital structure. It is calculated using the following formula: Total cost of capital = cost of equity capital + cost of borrowed capital = dividend rate x equity ratio + interest rate x debtor capital ratio If we assume that the dividend rate is 10% and the interest rate is 8%, and compare the total cost of capital when the equity ratio is 50% (state A) and 20% (state B), it is 9.0% in state A and 8.4% in state B. Numerically, it may seem advantageous to have more debt, but in times of recession or low growth, dividend rates fall, so the opposite is true. The cost of capital applies not only to capital currently in use, but also to capital to be used in the future. This is why the cost of capital is used when making investment decisions.

企業が使用資本のために負担する価値犠牲。自己資本の資本コストは配当であり、他人資本(負債)のそれは支払利子である。使用資本がこれら両種の資本によって構成されている場合には、資本構成に応じて総資本コストは異なってくる。それは次の式で算出される。 総資本コスト=自己資本コスト+他人資本コスト [森本三男] [参照項目] | |出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
