1. Explain how a firm creates value and identify the key sources of
value creation.
2. Define the overall “cost of capital” of the firm.
3. Calculate the costs of the individual components of a firm’s cost of
capital - cost of debt, cost of preferred stock, and cost of equity.
4. Explain and use alternative models to determine the cost of equity,
including the dividend discount approach, the capital-asset pricing
model (CAPM) approach, and the before-tax cost of debt plus risk
premium approach.
5. Calculate the firm’s weighted average cost of capital (WACC) and
understand its rationale, use, and limitations.
6. Explain how the concept of economic Value added (EVA) is related
to value creation and the firm’s cost of capital.
7. Understand the capital-asset pricing model's role in computing
project-specific and group-specific required rates of return.

Cost of Capital is the required rate
of return on the various types of
financing. The overall cost of
capital is a weighted average of the
individual required rates of return
(costs).

EVA = NOPAT – [Cost of
Capital x Capital Employed]
• Since a cost is charged for equity capital also, a
positive EVA generally indicates shareholder
value is being created.
• Based on Economic NOT Accounting Profit.
• NOPAT – net operating profit after tax is a
company’s potential after-tax profit if it was all-
equity-financed or “unlevered.”

Examination of firms in the networking
industry allows us to estimate an all-equity

11.2% and the risk-free rate is 4%.

Assume Basket Wonders is considering a
new $425,000 automated basket weaving
machine that will save $100,000 per year
for the next 6 years. The required rate on
unlevered equity is 11%.
BW can borrow $180,000 at 7% with
$10,000 after-tax flotation costs. Principal
is repaid at $30,000 per year (+ interest).
The firm is in the 40% tax bracket.

What is the APVAPV?
First, determine the interest expense.
Int Yr 1 ($180,000)(7%) = $12,600
Int Yr 2 ( 150,000)(7%) = 10,500
Int Yr 3 ( 120,000)(7%) = 8,400
Int Yr 4 ( 90,000)(7%) = 6,300
Int Yr 5 ( 60,000)(7%) = 4,200
Int Yr 6 ( 30,000)(7%) = 2,100

Second, calculate the tax-shield benefits.
TSB Yr 1 ($12,600)(40%) = $5,040
TSB Yr 2 ( 10,500)(40%) = 4,200
TSB Yr 3 ( 8,400)(40%) = 3,360
TSB Yr 4 ( 6,300)(40%) = 2,520
TSB Yr 5 ( 4,200)(40%) = 1,680
TSB Yr 6 ( 2,100)(40%) = 840

Third, find the PV of the tax-shield benefits.
TSB Yr 1 ($5,040)(.901) = $4,541
TSB Yr 2 ( 4,200)(.812) = 3,410
TSB Yr 3 ( 3,360)(.731) = 2,456
TSB Yr 4 ( 2,520)(.659) = 1,661
