Hurdle Rate
In capital budgeting, the required return for a project. That is, when a company is planning its outlays in the medium and long-term, it requires a certain rate of return on projects, because they can be quite expensive and the outlays tie up capital that can be used elsewhere. This required return is called the hurdle rate.
