    in the formula, the equity portion (at 3.25 min), do you mean R instead of D? You have r being the required rate of return. Great video.

      You're absolutely correct. I apologize for that. It should have been r not d. I said required rate of return, but for some reason, I put d

    how is that you can explain these things better than my old MBA profs? how is this possible? I mean seriously, a person drops a 100k on an mba and then finds better sources on youtube. wtf. edit: well done, keep it up, thank you

    Thank you so much. I am in an MBA program and came from a very non-math undergraduate field. This video made everything clear. Profs and finance textbooks can be obscure and cryptic to those not of the math persuasion.

    • @wazup3333
      @wazup3333 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      How do you actually apply this with actual financial statements, finding the weight of debt and equity, and calculating the cost of debt when companies have many separate notes payable like convertible debentures that turn into equity..?

    Now that we seem to be headed into an inflationary environment, I put more WACC focus on my company analyses. Companies with lower costs of capital should be able to weather high inflation better due to their financial stability and theoretically more stable balance sheet.

    Please explain how to find the equity value in the WACC calculation. Is it the current market value of all stock in which case it is market capitalization ($/shr x no. of shrs), or is it the stockholders equity which can be found from the balance sheet? These are two very different numbers.

      Fill in the formula so you get
      0.3*0.04*0.75+0+0.7*0.1=0.079. So the percentages he first divided by 100. and at the end you multiple by 100. I hope it was helpful

    Just want to make sure I understood this correctly, the 4%, and 10% would come from the footnotes, correct? If they do not, how do we calculate these numbers?
    Does the company provide the calculated future value? If not, wouldn't this value be too speculative, and therefore not useful?
