Question | What is weighted average cost of capital? |
Hello Andrew, Weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is a calculation of a firm's cost of capital in which each category of capital is proportionately weighted. All sources of capital, including common stock, preferred stock, bonds and any other long-term debt, are included in a WACC calculation. A firm’s WACC increases as the beta and rate of return on equity increase, as an increase in WACC denotes a decrease in valuation and an increase in risk. To calculate WACC, multiply the cost of each capital component by its proportional weight and take the sum of the results. |
