依原書 Figure 11-2/11-3,以 Year 1 capital structure 計算 Weighted Average Cost of Capital(WACC)。
原書 Year 1 Long-Term Debt = $30,000、Equity = $36,320,約形成 45% debt/55% equity。Investors 要求 equity return 15%。
| Capital Component | Amount/Rate |
|---|---|
| Debt | $30,000 |
| Equity | $36,320 |
| Debt Weight | 45% |
| Equity Weight | 55% |
| After-tax Cost of Debt | 4.35% |
| Cost of Equity | 15.0% |
B4 =B3/SUM($B$3:$C$3),向右複製取得 capital weights。B5 由 interest cost 乘 (1−tax rate) 得 after-tax debt cost;C5 hard-code 15% cost of equity。B6 =B4*B5+C4*C5。
| Component | Weighted Contribution |
|---|---|
| Debt | 約 45% × 4.35% |
| Equity | 約 55% × 15.0% |
| WACC | 10.2% |
WACC 是整個 business FCFF 的折現率,因它反映 debt 與 equity providers 對回報的共同要求。Debt 要 tax-adjust,因 interest expense 可抵稅。
請根據 45% debt、55% equity、after-tax debt cost 4.35%、equity cost 15%,解釋 WACC 為何約為 10.2%,以及為什麼 debt cost 要先做 tax adjustment。
**問題:**若 Cost of Equity 上升而其他條件不變,WACC 方向上會如何?
