    When I calculate WACC’s debt and equity proportions, should I use D/E+D or D(1-T)/E+D(1-T) ?

    I surely know that asset beta
    should be equal to
    equity beta x E/E+D(1-T).

    The two things are separate issues.

    When calculating the WACC we always use the actual proportions (based on MV’s) i.e. E/(E+D) and D/(E+D).

    Do watch my free lectures on this because it is all explained in the lectures.
