Hydra Multinational is a vast conglomerate firm involved in a wide array of business ventures ranging from satellite radio to cat food. One of its many divisions, a restaurant chain, is considering the value in trying to push its brand into a new geographical market and thus needs to estimate the appropriate cost of capital for this highly complex project.
