Cost of Capital and the Comapny
• Company measures opportunity cost of capital for investment
with similar risk using the Weighted Average Cost of Capital.
• WACC= (1-t)*rD*D/V + rE*E/V
Where, t= corporate tax rate
rD= cost of debt
D/V= % of debt financing
rE= cost of equity
E/V= % of equity financing

Elements of WACC
• Unlevered beta
• Levered beta

Elements of WACC
Unlevered Beta Levered Beta
Beta of a company without any debt (Published beta)
Beta of a leveraged required return
Unlevering a beta removes the financial effects from leverage
Hamada's formula: BL= Bu [1+ (1-t) D/E]

Elements of WACC
• rE: cost of equity (CAPM)
• rE= Rf + Beta*(Risk premium)
where, Rf= risk free rate (generally, 3-month US
treasury bill)
Beta= the sensitivity of the asset returns to market
returns
Risk premium= rM-Rf

Elements of WACC
• rD: cost of debt
• rD= Government rate of borrowing + Premium above
Government rate
• In this case we have Govt. rate is 8.95% (30- year maturity-
for Marriott and lodging operations)
• Govt. rate is 6.90% ( 1-year maturity for restaurant and
contract services)

Risk Premium for all the division was found to be from exhibit
given in the case paper,
Risk Premium(Restaurant & Contract services) = Market Return –
Risk free rate = 0.0523 – 0.0546 = -0.0023
Risk Premium( Marriot & Lodging)= Rm- Rf = 0.0523 – (-0.0269) =
0.0792

Analysis & Conclusion
• Marriott as a whole has WACC of 8.86%, which should
be weighted avg of all of its divisions. Here, we found
that WACC should be 6.42%.
• The higher WACC found above is because of higher
equity financing in some of its divisions and lower debt
financing vice versa.
• Higher WACC of lodging indicates that company should
be careful enough in investing in lodging as it demands
for high required rate of return compared to those of
restaurant and contract services.
