How do you calculate unlevered cost of capital?
Leverage indicates the use of debt in conjunction with owner's equity to finance an accumulation of assets. The term "unlevered" implies that there is no use of debt to make such asset acquisitions. Therefore, the cost of capital would include the costs associated with equity-only financing. This includes the rate of required return on both preferred and common stock (with their appropriate weighting).
