| Here we will calculate the market value ratios for the firm | |||
| Current year | |||
| Stock price | |||
| Number of shares oustanding (Common Shares Outstg. (M)) | |||
| Market Capitalization = Stock price * Number of shares oustanding | |||
| Most recent Net Income (Net Income as of the most recent income statement) | |||
| Most recent earnings per share (EPS) = Net income / Shares outstanding | |||
| Price to Earnings (P/E) Ratio = Price / EPS | |||
| Most recent Book Value (Total Equity as of the most recent Balance Sheet) | |||
| Book Value per share = Total equity / Shares outstanding | |||
| Market to Book (M/B) Ratio = Price / Book value to share | |||

| 19 | *Beta of Firm ==> Regress the Firm stock returns on the returns of the S&P500 Index (market portfolio). The slope of the regression line will give you beta of the Firm. | * To find the Beta of the stock you have to create the scatter plot of Stock Returns on Market Returns and then insert the trendline. You can also insert the equation of the trendline. The slope of the line will give you Beta. To recap the concept of Beta calculation you can watch the video on - Risk , and Return, Segment - Beta Calculation | |||||||

WACC
| The Weighted Average Cost of Capital | |||||
| The cost of capital is the weighted average cost of the debt, and common equity that the firm uses to finance its assets. | |||||
| Definitions | |||||
| WACC | Weighted average cost of capital | ||||
| = | wd * rd * (1 – T) + ws * rs | ||||
| rd = | Cost of debt | ||||
| rs = | Cost of stock (common equity) | ||||
| wd = | Percent of target capital structure financed with debt | ||||
| ws = | Percent of target capital structure financed with stock (common equity) | ||||
| T = | Tax rate | ||||
| Note: In most cases you will not have preferred stock so the cost and weight of preferred stock will be 0. | |||||

| Price per share of common stock = | ? | ||||
| Choosing Weights for the Weighted Average Cost of Capital | |||||
| Value | Percent of Total | ||||
| DEBT ==> Use long term debt from Balance sheet | ==> Weight of Debt = wd | ||||
| Total common equity = Stock price * Number of shares outstanding | ==> Weight of Common Equity = ws | ||||

| The Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) | |||||
| The weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is calculated using the firm's target capital structure together with its after-tax cost of long-term debt, after-tax cost of short-term debt, cost of preferred stock, and cost of common equity. | |||||
| WACC = | Weighted average cost of capital | ||||
