They then develop target leverage ratios and use the WACC to determine the cost of capital for the whole corporation as well as each of the three divisions. 1. What is the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) for Marriott Corporation (2 points)? 2 Cost of Debt = risk free weight + debt rate premium above gov’t = 8.95% + 1.30% = 10.25% Levered Beta βE = βU * [1 + (1-tax rate)(target leverage / (1 - target leverage))] = 0.80 * [1 + (1-0.44)(0.60 / (1 – 0.60))] = 1.472 Cost of Equity = risk-free rate + βE(risk premium) = 0.0895 + 1.472(.0743) = 0.2079 rME = 8.95% + 1.472 * 7.43% = 19.89% WACC = (1-T) * pretax cost

Total risk can be measured by company’s Return on Equity (ROE). When a company only uses equity financing, its ROE is lower than when company uses both debt financing and equity financing.
