Calculating the Cost of Capital for Multinational Organizations

Abstract: This 20 page paper examines the different ways of calculatingthe cost of capital for a multinational company where there are many different risk factors that can impact on costs, such as exchange rate risks. The paper considers the methods which include looking at the cost of equity and the cost of debt, with consideration of how the CAPM (capital asset pricing model), can satisfy the calculations for the cost of equity and the variation for an international capital asset pricing model ICAPM. The use of the ICAPM is assessed looking at empirical evidence that suggests there may be some differences. The paper looks at how these differences may be included in equation and then at the evidence that may suggest that domestic CAPM is just as efficient as ICAPM for MNO
