The overall cost of capital is a weighted average of the individual required rates of return (costs).

Slides prepared by Wu Xiaolan 3 The Cost of Capital When we say a firm has a “ cost of capital ” of, for example, 12%, we are saying:  The firm can only have a positive NPV on a project it return exceeds 12%.  The firm must earn 12% just to compensate investors for the use of their capital in a project.  The use of capital in a project must earn 12% or more, not that it will necessarily cost 12% to borrow funds for the project. Thus cost of capital depends primarily on the USE of funds, not the SOURCE of funds.

It is another way of measuring that firms are earning returns on their invested capital that exceed their cost of capital. Specific measure developed by Stern Stewart & Company in late 1980s. It is a firm ’ s net operating profit after tax (NOPAT) minus a dollar-amount cost of capital charge for the capital employed. Economic Value Added

The initial expense will be depreciated straight-line to zero salvage value over 5 years; the pretax salvage value in year 5 will be $500,000. The project will generate pretax savings of $1,500,000 per year, and not change the risk level of the firm. The firm can obtain a 5-year $3,000,000 loan at 12.5% to partially finance the project. If the project were financed with all equity, the cost of capital would be 18%. The corporate tax rate is 34%, and the risk- free rate is 4%.

Guidelines:  Use WACC if the firm’s target debt-to-value ratio applies to the project over the life of the project.  Use the APV if the project’s level of debt is known over the life of the project.
