| | Weighted average cost of capital (WACC) |
 | | Because WACC unifies the costs of sources of capital that are subject to different tax treatments this needs to be adjusted for, in particular the cost of debt capital (the cost of which is usually tax deductible) needs to be adjusted to put it on the same basis as equity capital. |  | | As the cost of capital will be different for each of the different types of capital a company has, reflecting the different risks the WACC is the average of the costs of each of the different types of capital, weighted according to the proportion of the company’s capital that comes from each source. |  | | Weighted average cost of capital ( WACC) is the return that the providers of a company’s capital require. |

| | Investors Need A Good WACC |
 | | The WACC is the weighted average of the cost of equity and the cost of debt based on the proportion of debt and equity in the company's capital structure. |  | | The WACC is represented by the following formula: WACC = Re x E/V + Rd x (1 - corporate tax rate) x D/V. A company's WACC is a function of the mix between debt and equity and the cost of that debt and equity. |  | | In discounted cash flow analysis, for instance, WACC is used as the discount rate applied to future cash flows for deriving a business's net present value. |

| | WACC - Weighted Average Cost of Capital |
 | | WACC ( Weighted Average Cost of Capital) is an expression of this cost and is used to see if certain intended investments or strategies or projects or purchases are worthwhile to undertake. |  | | Normally, the cost of equity finance is higher than the cost debt finance, because the cost of equity involves a risk premium. |  | | The cost of capital for any investment, whether for an entire company or for a project, is the rate of return capital providers would expect to receive if they would invest their capital elsewhere. |

 | | Alternative: If we calculate WACC strictly according to financial theory, the costs of equity and debt have to be changed each time the solvency changes. |  | | Figure 4 Alternative 2: WACC is calculated with actual solvency and fixed costs of debt and equity. |  | | Let us assume that the cost of debt is 5%, the cost of equity 15%, solvency ratio 50% and the beginning capital 100 (equity 50, debt 50). |

| | Weighted Average Cost of Capital |
 | | WACC refers to adding up all the contributions and determining what is the average cost of capital by "weight" or percentage in the investment. |  | | So the easy WACC advice would be to use lots of secured debt as leverage and finance the remainder of the transaction with personal equity currently held as cash. |  | | This point makes WACC analysis consistent with the advice I give in my Investing in Land Home Study Course that borrowing on a secured basis is your cheapest form of financing and therefore ultimately the most profitable. |

| | Manual for Discounting Oil and Gas Income |
 | | The WACC is measured by weighting the typical oil company debt and equity costs by the typical oil company debt and equity capital structure percentages, and then adding the weighted costs. |  | | If the appraiser calculates a typical effective income tax rate from a representative sample of petroleum companies that could participate in the market for the property that he or she is appraising, he or she may substitute that typical effective income tax rate for the statutory rate. |  | | Weighting debt and equity costs -- Once capital structure, debt and equity costs are determined, the final step in deriving the WACC is to weight the cost of debt and equity by the proportional share each has in the overall capital structure. |

| | The Weighted Average Cost of Capital |
 | | WACC is the discount rate (time value of money) used to convert expected future cash flow into present value for all investors. |  | | To estimate WACC we then first need to establish the opportunity cost of equity and non-equity financing and then the market value weights for the capital structure. |  | | The weights used in the calculation are the ratio between the market value of each type of debt and equity in the capital structure, and the market value of the company. |

| | Economic Value Add |
 | | Given a particular company's debt:equity ratio, and given its calculable cost of debt and equity finance, it is a relatively simple technical task to derive the WACC for any company. |  | | Investment Analysts who were arguing that the NOPAT/Invested Capital ratio minus WACC percentage of the particular organization would grow into the foreseeable future (thereby justifying an investment at premium to underlying notional value) will be seen to have been talking nonsense. |  | | Equity investors go through a similar process of risk assessment to determine the rate of return that they will require to justify an equity investment but, of course, because their investment is unsecured, their risk is higher and they will demand a significantly higher return to compensate. |

 | | So in the WACC formula interest bearing debt is considered to be 0 and the weight for equity put at 100%. |  | | The resulting WACC therefore is lower as the weight of equity decreases. |  | | In all those cases by definition, refinancing WACC is lower than free cash-flow WACC (100% equity). |

Its rate of return is greater than the firm's WACC. |  | | Chapter 9 uses the rate of return concepts covered in previous chapters, along with the concept of the weighted average cost of capital (WACC), to develop a corporate cost of capital for use in capital budgeting. |  | | We begin by describing the logic of the WACC, and why it should be used in capital budgeting. |

 | | If ROIC = WACC, the reason is that growth almost always requires additional investment, which has to be funded at the WACC rate. |  | | If the business has divisions, business units or single products where the ROIC is less than WACC, these activities are destroying shareholder value and should be corrected or eliminated. |  | | The most generally accepted equation that calculates a firm's cost of capital is the Capital Asset Pricing Model which incorporates a company's beta value. |

 | | The cost of equity capital for each company used in calculating our WACC's has been derived solely from share trading in the New Zealand Stock Exchange (NZSE) and has not been 'blended' with the cost of equity capital for similar companies listed on overseas stock exchanges. |  | | D and E are the market values of the business' debt and equity respectively and V is the sum of D and E. Therefore, D/V and E/V represent the relative weightings of debt and equity employed in the business' operations |  | | For further information on how we derive our WACC for each company surveyed in the Cost of Capital Report, please contact us. |
