Weighted Average Cost of Capital
For a firm overall, it is based on the riskiness of the firm's assets
While it is generally estimated by looking at the right-hand-side of the balance sheet, it is largely driven by the left-hand-side (i.e., assets)
It is the amount that equity holders demand for an investment in a firm
It is the amount that debt holders demand for a loan made to the firm

FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT II COURSE QUESTİONarrow_forwardwhat comment can be made on this or what can be added to it? The weighted average cost of capital is a calculation that can be done by a business to determine how much it will cost to borrow money to generate capital (WACC, n.d.). The result of this calculation will help business determine if financing a project is an investment that will yield positive returns (WACC, n.d.). The WACC takes into account the cost of equity and the cost of debt to figure out whether an investment is worth taking on (WACC, n.d.).arrow_forwardA company hired you as a consultant to help estimate its cost of capital.

If a firm's expected basic earning power (BEP) is constant for all of its assets and exceeds the interest rate on its debt, then adding assets and financing them with debt will raise the firm' expected return on common equity (ROE). b.
