Mortensen used WACC formula to estimate cost of capital‚ compute the cost of debt by adding a premium over US Treasury securities of a similar maturity‚ and calculate the cost of equity by using the CAPM formula. After reviewing the case and tables given‚ we calculated the company’s composite WACC and WACCs for each division respectively. The company’s composite WACC is 8.19%.

General Approach The company is split into 3 divisions Lodging‚ Contract Services and Restaurants. The WACC for each of the 3 divisions and then subsequently the entire corporation’s WACC need to be calculated. This will be done through calculating the WACC for each of the 3 divisions and then taking a weighted average of these 3 divisional WACC numbers to get the overall Marriott Corporation WACC. 1. Calculating the Beta a. Calculate the levered Beta for each division: BL = BU (1+D/E)

It required using the formula WACC = (1-t_)RD(D/V) + RE(E/V). _D and E are the market values of the debt and equity respectively and V (market value) = D+E. RD and RE are the pretax cost of debt and cost of equity respectively
