Based on WACC Investors conclude feasibility to undertake the project
it denotes the rate that is used to discount UNLIVERED FREE CASHFLOWS and TERMINAL VALUE

WACC should be after Taxe., as Cashflow represents to post tax values
Cost of Equity
Denotes about the costs associated with the company to maintain stock Price
CAPM is the method where we can calculate COST OF EQUITY:
CAPM denotes CAPITAL ASSET PRICING MODEL
Capital Asset Pricing Model
It determines Rate of return of a Security after considering its risk
It provides the relation between RISK and RATE OF RETURN for a particular asset
It is used to calculate required rate of return of a risky asset
Ra = Rf + Beta(Rm-Rf)
Ra = Expected Rate of Return
Rf = Risk free rate of Return
Beta = Risk Premium
Beta - Denotes about Risk
Rm = Market rate of return
Beta RISK Classification:
We can classify risk in two
(i)Systematic Risk (ii) Unsystematic Rick
UnSystematic Risk associated to Asset Specific Risk
Systematic risk associated with RISK TO ALL ASSETS
BETA calculates SYSTEMTIC RISK
If Beta is > 1, asset risker than Market
If Beta is < 1, Asset is less risky than Market
CAPM Calculation:
Re = Cost of Equity
Rf = Risk Free Rate
Beta:
Equity Market Risk Premium(EMRP):
Cost of Debt
Denotes about the Rate the company pay to DEBT HOLDERS
