What you should know about the 
Liquid capital is only available to companies to a limited extent. These liquid funds consist of both equity and debt.
Interest is paid on the borrowed capital. But shareholders also expect a return on their capital. So using liquid capital to make a purchase is not free of charge.
The “weighted average cost of capital” (WACC) represents – in simplified terms – the average of the interest on borrowed capital and the expected shareholder return, expressed as a percentage.
When it comes to deciding whether and how to invest, the WACC is often used as a decision criterion by companies pursuing a “value-driven investment strategy”.
This calculator uses either the WACC officially determined by Price Waterhouse Cooper* per industry or the individually entered cost of capital.
The results are therefore based on the selected or entered values.
