CAPITAL COMPONENTS
Capital components are sources of funding that come
from investors.
Accounts payable & accruals are not sources of
funding that come from investors, so they are not included
in the calculation of the cost of capital.
WACC
WACC = [(D/V) kd (1-t)] + [(E/V) ke]
COST OF DEBT
Expected return on a traded, long-term fixed-rate obligation of a
credit quality that corresponds to the capital structure ratios built
into the WACC Formula
Method 1: Ask an investment banker what the coupon rate would be
on new debt.
Note It will not be the same as the embedded / historical rate
Method 2: Find the bond rating for the company and use the yield
on other bonds with a similar rating.
Method 3: Find the yield on the companys debt, if it has any.
Method 4: Synthetic Ratings

COST OF EQUITY
OPPORTUNITY COST
Opportunity cost: The return stockholders could earn on alternative
investments of equal risk.
They could buy similar stocks and earn rs
So, rs, is the cost of reinvested earnings and it is the cost of equity.
2. DCF
rs = D1/P0 + g.
3. Own-Bond-Yield-Plus-Risk Premium
rs = rd + RP.
Long-term for a going concern, else the maturity should meet the
projected cash flow period
Match the duration of the analysis to the duration of the risk free rate
Measures extra returns for making an average risk investment rather than riskfree investment
Function of risk aversion of an investor volatility and risk associated with
underlying economy
Implied premiums
Value = Expected dividends next period / (Required return on equity
Exp. Growth rate in dividends)

APPROACH-3 TO ESTIMATING
THE COST OF EQUITY
rd = 10%, RP = 4%.
This RP CAPM RPM.
Produces ballpark estimate of rs. Useful check.
rs = rd + RP
= 10.0% + 4.0% = 14.0%

NOTE ON WACC
Weights in WACC
Market value weights
Target Capital Structure -Weights should represent the long-term target
capital structure rather than current capital structure
Consistent rates to be used in deriving cost of equity and WACC
Tax Rate
Marginal vs. Effective Tax rates
Firms that are non-taxpayers for extended periods, appropriate tax rate
could be low or zero
Vd = $75 million.
Total value = $150 + $25 + $75 = $250 million.
wce = $150/$250 = 0.6
wps = $25/$250 = 0.1
wd = $75/$250 = 0.3

For example, if the historical rM has been about 12.2% and inflation
drives the current rRF up to 10%, the current market risk premium is
not 12.2% - 10% = 2.2%!
