Pheifer -- Debt = $200M = 25% Equity = $600M = 75% Weighted contribution of equity = .75 * 15% = 11.25% Cost of debt has to be reduced for the taxes credited = (1-.34) * 8% = 5.28% Debt is only 25% of this equity structure, so the weighted contribution of debt is: 5.28% * .25 = 1.32% Add the two weighted contributions together to get 100%: 11.25% + 1.32% = 12.57% Google search strategy: "weight average cost of capital" Again, you can use this one: Investopedia.com WACC (undated) http://www.investopedia.com/terms/w/wacc.asp Best regards, Omnivorous-GA |
