Cost of money refers to the real rate of interest at which you are able to borrow money . It is influenced by following factors :-
1.) Expected inflation - inflation reduces the purchasing power and it needs to be compensated for.
2.) Liquidity - it is the loss in value if the investment is to be converted into cash quickly
3) Default risk - the probability that the money is not returned back and it needs to be compensated
4) Maturity risk - as the maturity of debt increases its sensitivity to changes in interest rate increases holding all else constant.
