Capital (WACC). Write down the WACC formula‚ and discuss its components.

Question1. NPV = FCF1/(1+WACC)+FCF2/(1+WACC)^2+FCF3/(1+WACC)^3+FCF4/(1+WACC)^4+FCF5/(1+WACC)^5 +FCFp‚ where FCF1…FCF5 are the free cash flows in years from 1999 to 2003. FCF = Cash flow from Operations – increase in net working capital requirement – capital expenditures‚ discounted by WACC. For example‚ in 1999 FCF1 = (7965 – 516 – 4938)/(1+0‚1) = 2283. Similarly‚ we calculate FCF2=2479‚ FCF3=2666‚ FCF4=3007‚ FCF5=3132. As we assume‚ that after 2003 the FCF will grow permanently by 4% by year
