weight = .15/1.15 = .13 Long-term debt weight = 1/1.15 = .87 Since the accounts payable has the same cost as the overall WACC‚ we can write the equation for the WACC as: WACC = (1/1.8)(.14) + (0.8/1.8)[(.15/1.15)WACC + (1/1.15)(.08)(1 – .35)] Solving for WACC‚ we find: WACC = .0778 + .4444[(.15/1.15)WACC + .0452] WACC = .0778 + (.05797)WACC + .0201 (.9420)WACC = .0979 WACC = .1039‚ or 10.39% We will use basically the same equation to calculate the weighted average flotation cost‚ except we will
