Weighted Average Cost of Capital

     

  • Popularly known as WACC
  •  

     

    What is meant by WACC

     

     

  • 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
  •  

    Points to Remember:

  • WACC shouldn't capital specific., i.e it denotes all the capital Debt,Equity..., Rational behind this is: Cashflow represents to all types of capital(debt+equity)
  •  

  • 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
  •  

  • As companies attains benefits from the TAX deductions on INTEREST PAID, Interest considered based on NET of TAX
  •  

    Debt(1-TaxRate)
