This year,
WACC holds on 28 March, inside the Sheraton Hotel and Towers, Ikeja, Lagos with a stakeholders' gathering promising to provide an insightful peep into technology trends in Africa's most populous country as well as the entire ECOWAS sub-region.
In order to update the data more frequently to reflect the latest market situation and operating environment of the franchised bus operators, the Government will review the FAA at a regular interval of, say, once every three years, focusing in particular on the updating of Productivity Gain and the
WACC.
And the assets of these entities will be evaluated at historic values under the
WACC regime and no revisions have happened on account of expenses incurred during operations.
The
WACC method is a powerful tool of analysis because it allows to determine the market value of a firm by discounting unlevered cash flows at
WACC rates.
Equations (2) and (1) are the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (
WACC).
EV = [t.summation over (n=1)] FCF/[(1 +
Wacc).sup.n] (2)
The appropriate discount rate is the weighted average cost of capital for the firm (
WACC) derived from the market-weighted average of the firm's after-tax debt and equity costs.
Unadjusted cost of capital includes a 0.69% weighted cost of debt and a 9.86% weighted cost of equity, for a
WACC of 10.56%.
Impact of ERM on Weighted Average Cost of Capital (
WACC)
Theory holds that the firm should invest in projects that meet or exceed its weight-average cost of capital (
WACC) and reject investments that fail to meet this hurdle.
En todo caso, cuando se trata de fuentes alternas, tanto del corto como del largo plazo, es necesario recurrir a modelos particulares y, una vez determinado la estructura adecuada, calcular el costo medio ponderado de capital (CMPC) o
WACC por sus siglas en ingles.
La rentabilidad de las inversiones, medida a traves del VAN, es afectada por la tasa descuento llamada
WACC (costo promedio ponderado del capital), utilizandose para la determinacion la tasa de interes, que como ya se conoce se despeja en el mercado de intermediacion indirecta.
