Estimate the cost of capital: standard CAPM, startup-adjusted CAPM with size and illiquidity premiums, portfolio beta from weighted asset betas, and WACC blending after-tax cost of equity and debt. Method selects the formula. Use to derive the discount rate that feeds valuation_time_value and DCF models; for cross-border rates add valuation_international. Parameters apply per method: capm needs risk_free_rate + beta + market_return; startup_capm adds size_premium and liquidity_premium; portfolio_beta needs weights + betas, which must be equal length; wacc needs equity_value + debt_value + cost_of_equity + cost_of_debt + tax_rate. Only method is required; all other parameters are method-dependent, so supply those the selected method names and omit the rest (defaults apply where defined). Rate and decimal inputs are fractions (0.10 = 10%); probability and weight lists are in [0,1] and sum to 1. Returns value, method, inputs, assumptions, chapter, formula_number and calculation steps; pure arithmetic — no I/O and no external calls — rounded to 2 decimals, with no auth or rate limits. An unknown method, or a missing method-required parameter, returns an error instead of a value.
