Marriott Case Report
The purpose of this report is to explain the various weighted average cost of capital
values for Marriott Corporation and its divisions. Marriott Corporation has three major lines of
business: lodging, contract services, and restaurants. In determining his recommendations for the
hurdle rates for each division, Dan Cohrs, vice president of project finance at the Marriott
Corporation, was focused on continuing the trend of growth that Marriott had seen over the
previous four years. The weighted average cost of capital plays a significant role in Marriott
Corporation's growth because increasing the hurdle rate by 1% decreased the present value of
project inflows by 1% as well. Therefore, for any increase in the weighted average cost of capital
increased the risk of
We arrived at this value by taking the product of the ratio of market value of equity to
enterprise value and the cost of equity, and adding it to the product of the ratio of market value of
debt to enterprise value, the cost of debt, and one minus the tax rate. The market value of debt
(D) was given in Exhibit 1 in the row titled Long-term debt and under the year 1987. This was in
line with the number given in the report when it was said that Marriott had about $2.5 billion of
debt which was about 59% of its total capital, or exactly 58.8%. In order to determine the
enterprise value (V), we divided the market value of debt by its weight of the enterprise value to
arrive at a value of $4,

Premium Above Government in Table A (1.30%) to arrive at 10.02%.

The cost of equity (r

) was calculated by using the CAPM formula and the risk-free rate
and adding it to the product of the equity beta and the market risk premium. In this calculation,
the risk-free rate used was the 10-year U.S Government Interest Rates found in Table B as it is
