Question about ROIC

Personal Finance & Money Asked by InvestingBeginner104 on January 16, 2021

I was reading a book called "Pitch the Perfect Investment" and I reached a table of data I did not understand (attached below). Can anyone explain why cost of capital is not tallied for the first year? That part doesn’t make much sense to me, as I would imagine that there is an opportunity cost of choosing this investment in the first year too.

Picture of Table.

One Answer

Actually it is taken into account. The capital charge for Year 1 is the 5$ shown under Year 2 (60 * 8.5%), for Year 2 is the 11$ (126 * 8.5%) and so on. Hope this makes sense.
