using 60 trading days data are 1.45 and 1.62 respectively. If the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) of this project could be lower than its internal rate of return (IRR) with the estimated beta of 1.62‚ the estimated beta of 1.45 would not cause the project to be rejected. Therefore‚ the analysis uses the estimated beta calculated against NYSE composites index‚ which is 1.62‚ to compute the WACC.

Two problems can occur when there is not enough internally generated cash to fund all positive NPV projects: Increasing Marginal Cost of Capital Externally raised capital can have large flotation costs‚ which increase the cost of capital.

The company’s cost of capital is a critical element in such decisions and it is important to estimate precisely the weighted average cost of capital (WACC). In my analysis‚ I will examine why WACC is important in decision-making and I will show how WACC for Nike Inc. is calculated correctly. Also‚ I will calculate the company’s cost of equity using three different models: the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM)‚ the Dividend Discount Model (DDM) and

Chandler knows that maximum value will be achieved when WACC is minimized and she is estimating the impact of recapitalization on cost of equity and WACC.

Q1: Barrowing can create a value if it is within a feasible point‚ beyond than that it might have a negative impact on the company value. A company can benefit from the tax shield through borrowing which would increase the value. The change in WACC would result to a change in the value of the assets. Q2: The increase in value gets apportioned based on the market value weights of Debt and Equity. Based on the calculation‚ 50% to debt and equity‚ market value weights equals to 43% debt and
