Understanding the Minefield of Weighted Average Cost of Capital

Business Valuation Review, 2005
In a previous article, I explained how we can use an iterative approach to reach value estimates that give consistent values whether we use the equity approach or the invested-capital approach to firm valuation. In response to that article, Alix Mandron wrote that these methods do not work correctly. This article is in response to Mandron's criticisms.

The Weighted Average Cost of Capital as a Cutoff Rate: A Critical Analysis of the Classical Textbook Weighted Average

Financial Management, 1977
Assuming that the firm has an optimal debt/equity ratio, most textbooks recommend using the weighted average cost of capital as a cutoff rate for investment decision-making.

maximization of the total market value of the firm.

Managerial Decisions and the Weighted Average Cost of Capital

Journal of Finance Issues, 2008
This paper explores the relationship between the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) of a company and its marginal cost of capital. We adopt the classic economic theory of production to shed light into the conditions upon which WACC can be safely treated as the marginal cost of a company.

The weighted average cost of capital is not quite right

The Quarterly Review of Economics and Finance, 2009
Abstract A firm's cost of capital used in discounted cash flow analysis is commonly calculated as a weighted average of the after tax costs of the firm's various sources of financing (equity, debt, preferred stock). Its use implies that for investment projects earning precisely the WACC the cash (in)flow is exactly sufficient to reward all the ...

A Little More on the Weighted Average Cost of Capital

The Journal of Financial and Quantitative Analysis, 1975
In a recent issue of this journal, Linke and Kim [1], hereafter denoted as L-K, have shown that for finite-time horizons in excess of one period and if, over the same period, the firm's ratio of debt to equity is held constant, the firm's overall required rate of return could be expressed as a weighted average cost of capital.
