The calculation of WACC involves calculating the weighted average of the required rates of return on debt and equity, where the weights equal the percentage of each type of financing in the firm's overall capital structure. (rstd, rps, rs, rd)
is the symbol that represents the required rate of return on short-term debt in the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) equation.
Co. has $2.3 million of debt, $1 million of preferred stock, and $2.2 million of common equity. What would be its weight on debt?
a. 0.42
b. 0.18
c. 0.40
d. 0.16

a. 0.42

Explanation:

Calculation to determine What would be its weight on debt?

First step is to calculate the Total firm capital

Total firm capital= $2.3 + $1 + $2.2

Total firm capital= 5.50 million.

Now let determine the weight on debt using this formula

Weight on debt= Debt in the firm/ Total firm capital

Let plug in the formula

Weight on debt = $2.3 million/ 5.50 million

Weight on debt = 0.4182.

Weight on debt=0.42 (Approximately)

Therefore What would be its weight on debt is 0.42
