1. The weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is calculated as the weighted average of cost of component capital, including debt, preferred stock and common equity. In general, debt is less expensive than equity because it is less risky to the investors. Some managers may intend to increase the usage of debt, therefore increase the weight on debt (Wd).
