Boeing 777 QUESTION 1: The WACC that Boeing should use to discount the cash flows for the Boeing 777 investment is the WACC of the Boeing’s commercial division. Step 1: We needed to calculate the Beta of the commercial division of Boeing. We know that Beta of Boeing Corp. is the weighted average of the defense division Beta and the commercial division Beta. We started by calculating the unlevered Beta of Boeing Corp. We did that by unlevering the long-term Boeing Betas i.e.‚ more

The Boeing 7E7 WACC Estimation In order to evaluate the prospective IRRs from the Boeing 7E7‚ we first try to estimate an appropriate required rate of return for accepting this project. The capital asset pricing model is applied to estimate the cost of equity of the commercial aircraft division: R_EC= β_EC*(R_M-R_f )+R_f where REC is the cost of equity capital of the commercial aircraft division. βEC is the beta for the commercial division of Boeing. This beta is used instead of the company’s
