Weighted Average Cost of Capital.  It is the return a firm must earn on existing assets to keep its stock price constant and satisfy its creditors and owners. It represents the "rate" at which a company "borrows" funds to support its investments and, therefore, the minimum expected rate of return for these investments. It is company and country specific and it incorporates the risk factor of the investment and/or country in question.
