The document discusses the weighted average cost of capital (WACC), which is used to evaluate whether projects are feasible and determine asset values. WACC is calculated based on the costs of a firm's equity and debt financing, weighted by their proportions of the total firm value. It provides an example calculation of WACC for a company with both stock and outstanding bonds. The key steps shown are determining the costs of equity using CAPM and the cost of debt using bond yields, then weighting and summing these costs based on the market values of equity and debt. WACC indicates the overall return required to cover a firm's financing costs.
Weighted average cost is the average of the costs of specific sources of capital employed in a business, properly weighted by the proportion they hold in the firm’s capital structure.
Book Value :
Value shown in the balance sheet is called book value. Weightage to each source of finance is given on the basis of book value as recorded in the balance sheet.
Market Value :
Market value represent prices of prevailing in the stock market for securities. So current market price are applied in ascertaining the weightage.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

Weighted Average Cost of Capital
The weighted average cost of capital
(WACC) is a common topic in the
financial management examination.
This rate, also called the discount
rate, is used in evaluating whether a
project is feasible or not in the net
present value (NPV) analysis, or
in assessing the value of an asset.
Previous examinations have revealed
that many students fail to understand
how to calculate or understand
WACC.
WACC is calculated as follows:
WACC = E/V x Re + D/V x Rd x
(1-tax rate)
WACC is the proportional average of
each category of capital inside a firm
– common shares, preferred shares,
bonds and any other long-term debt
–
where:
Re = cost of equity
Rd = cost of debt
E = market value of the firm’s
equity
D = market value of the firm’s debt
V = E + D = firm value
E/V = percentage of financing that
is equity
D/V = percentage of financing that
is debt
WACC is simply a replica of the basic
accounting equation: Asset = Debt
+ Equity. WACC focuses on the
items on the right hand side of this
equation.
(Most companies do not have
preferred shares. For simplicity, we
only use common shares and bonds
in our illustrations.)
A firm derives its assets by either
raising debt or equity (or both).There
are costs associated with raising
capital and WACC is an average
figure used to indicate the cost of
financing a company’s asset base.
In determining WACC, the firm’s
equity value, debt value and hence
firm value needs to be derived. This
part is definitely not too difficult.You
also need to find the cost of the equity
and the cost of the debt.
2. Basically there are two approaches
in finding the cost of equity: the
dividend growth approach and the
capital asset pricing model (CAPM)
approach.
Using the dividend approach,
P = D1
/ (Re - g)
where
P0
is the current stock price or price
of the stock in period 0.
D1
is the dividend in period 1
Re
is the cost of equity
g is the dividend growth rate
Re
= D1
/ P0
+ g
This approach only applies to
dividend-paying stock as we need to
determine the dividend growth rate.
The other approach is the CAPM,
which was developed by Sharpe, a
Nobel Prize winner in economics in
1990.
Re
= Rf
+ ßex (Rm
- Rf
)
Using CAPM, the risk free rate (Rf )
and market return (Rm) have to be
found, as does the stock’s beta. There
are many arguments about how
best to determine the risk free rate,
market return and the beta. However,
CAPM is relatively more commonly
used than the dividend growth model
since most stocks do not have a stable
dividend history.
When calculating the cost of debt,
we do not use the coupon rate of the
bond as reference. Rather, we use the
yield rate. For example, if a bond has
coupon rate of 3% and a market price
of 103, this implies that the actual
yield is less than 3%.
Let me use an example to illustrate.
On the equity side, a company has 50
million shares with market price of
$80 per share. The beta of the stock
is 1.15 and market risk premium is
9%. The risk-free rate is 5%.
On the debt side, the company has
$1 billion outstanding debt (face
value). The current price of the debt
is 110 and the coupon rate is 9%: the
company pays semi-annual coupons
with 15 years to maturity.Assume the
tax rate is 15%.
To find the cost of equity,
Re
= 5 + 1.15(9) = 15.35%
Remember the market risk premium
is Rm
-Rf
. Since this is given, we need
not deduct 5% from 9%.
To find cost of debt, we turn to the
bond pricing equation and find r.
P = C x [1 - 1/(1 + r )t
]/r +
F x 1/(1 + r )t
We may assume the face value of
individual bond = $1,000. Since
C = $45 (remember it’s a semi-
annual payment), t = 30, P = $1,100,
F=$1,000, we find that r = 3.9268%.
(You may need to use a computer or
estimation method to find r.)
Since the cost of debt is given on an
annual basis, Rd
= 2 x 3.9268% =
7.854%. In calculating WACC, we
use the after-tax cost of debt. (This is
because interest payments are eligible
for tax deductions.) If the interest
rate is 7.854%, taking into account
the tax deduction, the actual interest
rate must be lower. Thus the after tax
cost of debt is 7.854% x (1-15%) =
6.6759%.
A useful way of checking your
answer is to remember that, for most
companies, the cost of debt (before
tax) is usually lower than the cost of
equity. If you calculate Re to be less
than Rd
, you have probably made a
mistake.
We have the cost of debt and cost of
equity; now we need to find the firm’s
value. The values are as follows:
Equity market value E = 50 million
($80) = $4 billion
Debt market value D = $1 billion
(1+110%) = $1.1 billion
Firm market value V = E + D = $5.1
billion
Weight of E = E/V = $4 /$5.1 =
0.7843
Weight of D = D/V = $1.1 /$ 5.1
= 0.2157
3. So, what is the WACC?
WACC = 0.7843(15.35%) +
0.2157(6.6759%) = 13.48%
This rate is used in the evaluation
of a project NPV or in determining
the value of an asset. Why is WACC
important? For a project to be feasible,
not just profitable, it must generate a
return higher than the cost of raising
debt (Rd
) and the cost of raising
equity (Re
).
Students must bear in mind that
WACC is affected not only by Re
and Rd
, but it also varies with capital
structure. Since Rd
is usually lower
than Re
, then the higher the debt
level, the lower the WACC. This
partly explains why firms usually
prefer issuing debt first before they
raise more equity.
As part of their risk management
processes, some companies add a
risk factor, say 1.5%, to the WACC
in order to include a risk cushion in
their project evaluation. The logic
behind this is simple as the process
of finding WACC involves a large
degree of estimation: you need to
estimate the risk free rate, the beta
and the market return.
So next time you tackle a WACC
question, remember this process. In
real life the process is similar, just
more complicated as a company may
have different debts with different
interest rates.
