In economics and accounting, the cost of capital is the cost of a company's funds (both debt and equity), or, from an investor's point of view the required rate of return on a portfolio company's existing securities.It is used to evaluate new projects of a company.his means, for instance, that the past cost of debt is not a good indicator of the actual forward looking cost of debt. Once cost of debt and cost of equity have been determined, their blend, the weighted average cost of capital (WACC), can be calculated.
Weighted Average Cost of Capital. Weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is the average of the minimum after-tax required rate of return which a company must earn for all of its security holders (i.e. common stock-holders, preferred stock-holders and debt-holders).e can also estimate it using MS Excel RATE function. For inclusion in WACC, we need after-tax cost of debt, which is 7.427% [= 10.61% Ã (1 â 30%)]. Having all the necessary inputs, we can plug the values in the WACC formula to get an estimate of 9.82%.
