Line 1: Line 1:
Broadly, the rate of return on a firm’s investments which is required to service the providers of the firm’s capital.
''Human resources.''


Often the term is used in a more specific sense to refer to the weighted average cost of capital of a business.
1.


The practice by an individual of doing no more work than they are contractually obliged to.


For example if a firm's cost of capital is 8%, it must earn a return of at least 8% on its operational investments in order to provide the investors with the minimum investment return of 8% which they require.

The concept of cost of capital is important because when inferior rates of return are earned from operational investments - for example only 5% compared with a cost of capital of 8% - such operations are destructive of shareholder value and need to be improved or discontinued.
Doing little or no work, while being present at a place of employment.


The results of these operations may appear (wrongly) to be profitable, when considered in simplistic historical cost financial accounting terms.
