The purpose of this paper is to identify the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) in relation with the firm value. Also, there are some aspects discussed in the paper regarding when a firm should accept a project and when to reject. Systematic risk will be also discussed in the paper concerning their target market and how risky is that. Finally, the approach that BlackBerry took into consideration to overcome their risk.

The objective of this paper is to understand the process of calculation of weighted average cost of capital(WACC), which is the core multiple used for discounting future cash flows of an entity and calculating the intrinsic value of the company’s stock. However, in this paper, we will solely focus on the calculation of WACC and its component, the costs of equity and cost of debt. In order to work with a pragmatic approach, we have selected Henkel AG, a German conglomerate active in both consumer and industrial sector, and will estimate the WACC multiple of the said company. However, in order to be more comprehensive in our approach, we will bifurcate our calculation in two parts. While Part 1 will detail the cost of equity calculation and related assumption, Part 2 will discuss the cost of debt calculations and related assumptions.

Already in 1958, Modigliani and Miller have pointed the discussion of capital structure towards the cost of debt and equity. According to their first proposition, in a world of no corporate taxes and with perfect markets, financial leverage has no effect on a firm’s value. In their second proposition, they state that the cost of equity equals a linear function defined by the required return on assets and the cost of debt (Modigliani and Miller, 1958).

ABSTRACT This paper is a review of the central theoretical literature. The most important arguments for what could determine capital structure is the pecking order theory and the static trade off theory. These two theories are reviewed, but neither of them provides a complete description of the situation and why some firms prefer equity and others debt under different circumstances. The paper is ended by a summary where the option price paradigm is proposed as a comprehensible model that can augment most partial arguments. The capital structure and corporate finance literature is filled with different models, but few, if any give a complete picture.

The relationship between capital structure and firm value has been discussed frequently in the literature by different researcher accordingly, in both theoretical and empirical studies. It has also been discussed that whether the firm has any optimal capital structure that has been adopted by an individual firm, or whether the proportions of debt usage is completely irrelevant to the individual firm value.

According to Schmukler (2004), when financial institutions in one country are under duress, borrowers have the option to raise capital by issuing shares in domestic or international capital markets. The globalization of finance make the valuing and distribution of capital more efficient as changes in financial risks are revealed quickly. Furthermore, borrowers and investors can obtain better terms on their financing as “they are able to tap a broader pool of capital from a more diverse and competitive array of providers” (Häusler, 2002). Corporations can afford tangible investments because they have become substantially cheaper. As a result, these reduced rates improve economic activity and growth, in addition to economic prosperity. Emerging enterprises and reputable banks can source funds from a diverse group of providers, and build their businesses.

Second, I will discuss any issues involved related to raising capital in the global market. When a company decides to enter the global market, it is up to management to ensure that the company is ready for such move. When raising capital in the global market, companies may have to deal with global credit facilities. Before global credit facilities decide to do business with a company, the company must first prove that the standing of the company is healthy.

A common issue that a lot of companies wishing to raise capital in the global market may come across is the preparation of financial statements. Financial statements preparation varies from country to country and can be very difficult for some countries to understand or read
