The component cost is the one which comes under the cost of capital and it has three LEVELS:-

1. Return at zero risk level: which tells about the expected rate of return when there is no risk INVOLVED in the project
2. Premium for business risk: This tells about the variance in operating profit DUE to change in sales.
3. Premium for financial risk: This tells about the captital structure risk.

It is the decision whether to BUY components or services from an outsider or not. It requires understanding the cost associated with BUILDING and buying the components.
