Step III. Calculate Weighted Average Cost of Capital
Below, we demonstrate the step-by-step calculation of ValueCo’s WACC, which we
determined to be 11%.
Step III(a): Determine Target Capital Structure Our first step was to determine
ValueCo’s target capital structure. For private companies, the target capital structure
is generally extrapolated from peers. As ValueCo’s peers have an average (mean) D/E
of 42.9%—or debt-to-total capitalization (D/(D+E)) of 30%—we used this as our
target capital structure (see Exhibit 3.45).
Step III(b): Estimate Cost of Debt We estimated ValueCo’s long-term cost of debt
based on the current yield on its existing term loan, the only outstanding debt
instrument in its capital structure (see Exhibit 3.43).
33
The term loan, which for
illustrative purposes we assumed is trading at par, is priced at a spread of 300 basis
points (bps)
34
to LIBOR
35
(L+300 bps). Based on LIBOR of 300 bps, we estimated
ValueCo’s cost of debt at 6% (or approximately 3.7% on an after-tax basis).
33
Alternatively, ValueCo’s cost of debt could be extrapolated from that of its peers. We took
comfort with using the current yield on ValueCo’s existing term loan because its current
capital structure is in line with its peers.
34
A basis point is a unit of measure equal to 1/100th of 1% (100 bps = 1%).
35
The London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) is the rate of interest at which banks can
borrow funds from other banks, in marketable size, in the London interbank market.
