The Cost of Capital: Weighted Average Cost of Capital
The firm's target capital structure is the mix of debt, preferred stock, and common equity the firm plans to raise funds for its future projects.
The target proportions of debt, preferred stock, and common equity, along with the cost of these components, are used to calculate the firm's weighted average cost of capital (WACC). If the firm will not have to issue new common stock, then the cost of retained earnings is used in the firm's WACC calculation. However, if the firm will have to issue new common stock, the cost of new common stock should be used in the firm's WACC calculation.
