We do adjust for these items when calculating the cash flows of a project, but not when calculating the cost of capital. Should we focus on before-tax or after-tax capital costs? Tax effects associated with financing can be incorporated either in capital budgeting cash flows or in cost of capital. Most firms incorporate tax effects in the cost of capital.
