MCS provides consulting services for clients to help them identify areas of improvement in their financial structure and apply industry best practices in future business decisions. McCormick needs the expertise of MCS consultants to better understand the financial implications of developing a capital structure for a recent acquisition of new product lines. To provide these services, a junior partner must first understand the cost of capital by exploring weighted average cost of capital (WACC), capital asset pricing model (CAPM), and market value ratios.
Working in this Project 5 McCormick Workbook that Elisa has provided, complete the Cost of Capital worksheet. The Cost of Capital worksheet contains information about weight of equity and debt, cost of equity and debt, and the weighted average cost of capital, as well as questions that will help the client in selecting the best financing decision.
When you have completed the Cost of Capital worksheet, submit it to the submission folder located in the final step of this project. You should aim to complete this step during Week 9.
Now that you have completed Step 1, proceed to Step 2, where you will make capital budgeting decisions.
