investment; see the extensive review by Frederick et al

Business valuation - Weighted average cost of capital (WACC)
1 The weighted average cost of capital is an approach to determining a discount rate. The
weighted average cost of capital|WACC method determines the subject company’s
actual cost of capital by calculating the weighted average of the company’s interest
(finance)|cost of debt and cost of stock|equity. The weighted average cost of capital|
WACC must be applied to the subject company’s net cash flow to total invested
capital.

Business valuation - Weighted average cost of capital (WACC)
1 One of the problems with this method is that the valuator may
elect to calculate weighted average cost of capital|WACC according to the
subject company’s existing capital structure, the average industry capital structure, or the optimal capital structure. Such discretion
detracts from the objectivity of this approach, in the minds of some
critics.https://store.theartofservice.com/the-weighted-average-cost-of-capital-toolkit.html
Business valuation - Weighted average cost of capital (WACC)
1 Indeed, since the weighted average cost of capital|WACC captures the
risk of the subject business itself, the existing or contemplated capital structures, rather than industry averages, are the appropriate choices for business valuation.

Modigliani-Miller theorem - Proposition II
1 A higher debt-to-equity ratio leads to a higher required return on equity, because of the higher risk involved
for equity-holders in a company with debt. The formula is derived from the theory of weighted average cost of
capital (WACC).

Financial statement analysis
1 Unlike other ratios, return on capital has a theoretical benchmark, the cost of capital -
also called the required return on capital. For example, the return on equity, ROE, could be compared with the required return on equity, kE, as estimated, for example, by the capital
asset pricing model. If ROE WACC, where WACC is the weighted average cost of capital), then the firm is economically profitable at any given time over the period of ratio analysis.
The firm creates values for its owners.

Discounted cash flow - Discount rate
1 The discount rate used is generally the appropriate weighted average
cost of capital (WACC), that reflects the risk of the cashflows. The
discount rate reflects two things:

Weighted average cost of capital
1 The 'weighted average cost of capital (WACC)' is the rate that a company is expected to pay on
average to all its security holders to finance its assets.

Residual income valuation - Comparison with other valuation methods
1 As can be seen, the residual income valuation formula is similar to the
dividend discount model (DDM) (and to other discounted cash flow (DCF)
valuation models), substituting future residual earnings for dividend (or free
cash) payments (and the cost of equity for the weighted average cost
of capital).

Tax shield - Case A
1 The concept was originally added to the methodology proposed by Merton
Miller for the calculation of the weighted average cost of capital of a
corporation.

Adjusted present value
1 Technically, an APV valuation model looks similar to a standard Discounted cash flow|DCF model. However, instead of weighted average cost of capital|WACC, cash flows
would be discounted at the unlevered cost of equity, and tax shields at either the cost
of debt (Myers) or following later academics also with the unlevered cost of
equity.http://www.iese.edu/research/pdfs/DI-0488-E.pdf

reinvesting the interim cash flows.

Trade-off theory of capital structure - Evidence
1 It is shown that suggestion of risky debt financing (and growing credit
rate near the bankruptcy) in opposite to waiting result does not lead to
growing of weighted average cost of capital, WACC, which still decreases

Payback period - Purpose
1 Whilst the time value of money can be rectified by applying a weighted
average cost of capital discount, it is generally agreed that this tool for
investment decisions should not be used in isolation

after tax generated by the business less its required return. The required return is an
Annuity (finance theory)|annuity based on the purchase price of the assets in use in the
business, inflated to today's value of money, the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) and
the economic life of the assets.

CROCI - Uses
1 * The (CROCI – Weighted average cost of capital|WACC) spread is a key
measure of shareholder value creation and competitive advantage. If the spread is positive, a company
creates value and destructs it otherwise.
