CAPITAL COMPONENTS :

A firms Capital Components are Debt

Borrowed money, either loans or bonds Common equity

Ownership interest Preferred stock

A hybrid security, a cross between debt and equity Capital structure is the mix of the three capital components -

generally expressed in percentages.

The Weighted Average CalculationThe WACC

A firms cost of capital is a weighted average of the costs of the three capitalcomponents where the weights reflect the $ amounts of each component inuse

Referred to in two ways k, the cost of capital WACC, for weighted average cost of capital

Calculating the WACC

Step 1: Develop a market-based capital structure Step 2: Adjust market returns on the underlying securities to reflect the

costs of the three capital component

Step 3: Combine in calculating the WACC

Capital Structure and CostBook Value Versus Market Value

We can think of the WACC in terms of either book or market values ofcapital components

For both structure and component costs Which is the correct focus?

WACC used to evaluate next years capital projects Must be supported by capital raised next year Book values reflect capital raised and spent years ago Current market values represent our best estimate of next years

capital market conditions

Market values are the appropriate basis for WACC For capital structure For component costs

ANALYSIS & CONCLUSION

A calculation of a firm's cost of capital in which each category of capital is

proportionately weighted. All capital sources - common stock, preferred stock,

bonds and any other long-term debt - are included in a WACC calculation. All else

equal, the WACC of a firm increases as the beta and rate of return on equity

increases, as an increase in WACC notes a decrease in valuation and a higher risk.

Broadly speaking, a companys assets are financed by either debt or equity.

WACC is the average of the costs of these sources of financing, each of which is

weighted by its respective use in the given situation. By taking a weighted average,

we can see how much interest the company has to pay for every dollar it finances.

A firm's WACC is the overall required return on the firm as a whole and, as such,

it is often used internally by company directors to determine the economic

feasibility of expansionary opportunities and mergers. It is the appropriate discount

rate to use for cash flows with risk that is similar to that of the overall firm.

Following analysis can be concluded for ITC ltd. from the above report :

ITC is very less levered with the debt of 0.02 The cost of Equity is almost same as overall cost of capital The Cash EPS > basic EPS for all the years which reveals generation of cash

profit by ITC throughout the years

Also EPS has been consistently increasing and showing good growth ofcompanys performance
