The opportunity cost of using investment resources in a project rather than in their next best alternative use; usually expressed in the form of an interest rate. The reduction in non-project benefits in relation to project objectives that is a result of using capital in the project. In practice, usually a weighted average calculation of the cost of securing project capital from various sources. In financial analysis, the weighted average cost to the firm or farm of equity capital and of borrowed capital from likely sources. In economic analysis, usually the weighted average cost of capital to the economy as a whole, but sometimes the weighted average cost of capital to the public sector. The rate at which benefits and costs are discounted in calculating the net present worth, the net benefit-investment ratio, or the benefit-cost ratio. The cut-off rate for project analysis, and hence the minimum acceptable internal rate of return. 3, record 5, English, - opportunity%20cost%20of%20capital

Es el costo de oportunidad de utilizar los recursos de inversión de un proyecto en lugar de en su mejor utilización opcional siguiente en orden de rentabilidad. Usualmente, se expresa en forma de una tasa de interés. Es la reducción en beneficios ajenos al proyecto en relación con los objetivos del proyecto que resulta de utilizar capital en el proyecto. En la práctica es usualmente un cálculo del promedio ponderado del costo de obtener de varias fuentes capital para el proyecto. En el análisis financiero, es el costo medio ponderado para la empresa o la finca del capital social y del capital tomado en préstamo de fuentes posibles. En el análisis económico, suele ser el costo medio ponderado del capital para la economía en conjunto, pero en ocasiones es el costo medio ponderado del capital para el sector público. Es la tasa a la cual se actualizan los costos y beneficios al calcular el valor neto actual, la relación inversión-beneficio neto o la relación beneficios-costos. Es la tasa de rentabilidad aceptable para el análisis de proyectos y, por consiguiente, la tasa de rentabilidad interna mínima aceptable. 1, record 5, Spanish, - costo%20de%20oportunidad%20del%20capital

A discounted measure of project worth. The present worth of the net benefits divided by the present worth of the investment. A form of benefit-cost ratio.
