The Road Stop is a national hotel chain with a cost of capital of 12.4 percent. This chain is considering opening a high-end resort that is expected to have a cost of capital that is at least 13 percent.

Respuesta :

Answer: probably be put on hold until its cost of capital can be lowered.

Explanation:

Since the Road Stop is a national hotel chain and its cost of capital of 12.4 percent and it is considering the opening a high-end resort that its expected cost of capital will be at least 13 percent.
