What is the adjusted WACC for Hollydale's if the corporate tax rate is 25%?
In order to calculate WACC in this question, we will multiply cost of each component of capital with its respective weight.
In the given formula,
· Rs = cost of equity
· Rd = cost of debt
· Ws= weight of equity i.e. Market Value of firm's Equity / Total market value of firm's financing ( Percentage of financing through equity)
· Wd = weight of debt i.e. Market Value of firm's long-term debt / Total market value of firm's financing ( Percentage of financing through long-term debt)
· T = corporate tax rate
Total market value of firm's financing = Market Value of Equity + Market Value of Debt
WACC= Rs x Ws + Rd (I-T) x Wd
