- E
- E value — Variable used in the calculation
- V
- V value — Variable used in the calculation
- D
- D value — Variable used in the calculation
- Tc
- Tc value — Variable used in the calculation
Guía paso a paso
- 1Input debt weight/cost, equity weight/cost (from CAPM)
- 2Calculate WACC = (E/V)×r_e + (D/V)×r_d×(1-Tc)
- 3Use as discount rate for DCF
