Part One: gather the information needed to determine the
WACC and leverage ratio information about TESLA company
and its closest competitor (NISSAN).
Part TWO:
1. The weighted average cost of capital (WACC) represents a
firm's average cost of capital from all sources, including
common stock, preferred stock, bonds, and other forms of debt.

17. WACC is a common way to determine the required rate of
return because it expresses, in a single number, the return that
both bondholders and shareholders demand to provide the
company with capital. A firm’s WACC is likely to be higher if
its stock is relatively volatile or if its debt is seen as risky
because investors will demand greater returns. Considering this
information, what is the WACC of your chosen company and its
closest competitor? Does one company appear more volatile
than the other? How does the WACC translate to both
companies’ stock performance?
2. Leverage ratios measure the amount of capital that comes
from debt. In other words, leverage financial ratios are used to
evaluate a company’s debt levels. The debt ratio measures the
relative amount of a company’s assets that are provided from
debt. Considering this information and drawing from the
information in your course material, find
three debt/leverage ratios for your chosen company and
its closest competitor. How does your chosen company compare
to its closest competitor, as far as these ratios? What inference
can you draw from the historical ratios and where they are now?
3. Which of the two companies is the “better run company”?
