    We do not always exclude it.

    It depends whether it is intended to be long-term or short-term. For the WACC we are looking at the average cost of long-term capital.

    (Usually in the exam, the question will make it clear whether the overdraft is intended to be long-term or short-term. If is does not, then you will get full marks whether or not you include it, but state your assumption).
