Finally â Capital Structure. The WACC is the weighted average of the cost of equity and the cost of debt based on the proportion of debt and equity in the company's capital structure. The proportion of debt is represented by D/V, a ratio comparing the company's debt to the company's total value (equity + debt).ACC, in other words, represents the investor's opportunity cost of taking on the risk of putting money into a company.

Weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is a calculation of a firm's cost of capital in which each category of capital is proportionately weighted.All sources of capital, including common stock, preferred stock, bonds and any other long-term debt, are included in a WACC calculation. firmâs WACC increases as the beta and rate of return on equity increase, as an increase in WACC denotes a decrease in valuation and an increase in risk. To calculate WACC, multiply the cost of each capital component by its proportional weight and take the sum of the results.
