C - 3 The NPV will change if the WACC change; if the WACC increases the NPV will decrease on the other hand if the WACC decreases the NPV will increase.

WACC (weighted average cost of capital) is the proportional average of each category of capital inside a firm (common shares‚ preferred shares‚ bonds and any other long-term debt). WACC is also called required return. The term required return tends to reflect an investor’s point of view‚ while cost of capital is the same return only from the firm’s point of view. WACC is the rate of return required by the capital provider in exchange

explain capital structure and determine weighted average cost of capital (WACC) from the assumption provided by Mary Francis. Furthermore‚ we will show how WACC and Capital Structure can be leveraged to find out the viability of the capital project. Additionally‚ we will explain marginal cost of capital. To close‚ we will make a recommendation on the best approach to apply to project evaluation between capital structure and WACC Capital Structure Capital Structure refers to the sources of funding/financing

Assignment questions 1. What is the WACC and why is it important to estimate a firm’s cost of capital? Do you agree with Joanna Cohen’s WACC calculation? Why or why not? WACC means the weighted average cost of capital. WACC is based on the respective weights of the firm’s financing sources‚ equity and debt at the respective return rates. A firm’s capital comes from two main ways‚ equity and debt‚ and WACC takes both into consideration. This means WACC includes all stock‚ bonds‚ long-term

What is the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) for Marriott Corporation? WACC = (1 - τ)rD(D/V) + rE(E/V) D = market value of debt E = market value of equity V = value of the firm = D + E rD = pretax cost of debt rE = after tax cost of debt τ = tax rate = 175.9/398.9 = 44% Cost of Equity Target debt ratio is 60%; actual is 41% [Exhibit 1] βs = 1.11 βu = βs / (1 + (1 – τ) D/E) = 1.11/(1 + (1 – .44) (.41)) = 0.80 Using the target debt ratio of 60%: βTs = βu (1 + (1 – τ) D/E)

Overview This case study focuses on where financial theory ends and practical application of the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) begins. It presents evidence on how some of the most financially complex companies and financial advisors estimated capital costs and focuses on the gaps found between theory and application. The approach taken in the paper differed from their predecessors in several various respects. Prior published information was solely based on written‚ closed-end surveys sent
