    Hello Mr Moffat,
    I have a 3 questions:

    I am looking at a friend’s notes who wrote F9 before and trying to understand the information scribbled……is there a rule of some sort when calculating the WACC in a situation when 1-the market value = nominal value as opposed to 2-when they are not equal?

    Also, I am seeing something scribbled here saying if MV=NV, then use Coupon rate= Kdbt/yield, yield deals with redeemable debt.

    What exactly does the yield refer to?

    The WACC is always calculated using market values – there is no other rule.

    Yield is the return to the investor (so the IRR of the pre-tax flows). That equation you have written makes no sense.

    Our notes and lectures contain all you can be asked regarding calculation of WACC.
