Template

Build the cost of capital for {company_name} step by step: 1) Cost of equity via CAPM: start with the risk-free rate provided, select and justify a beta (levered from comparables if the company is private — show the unlever/relever math with target capital structure), and apply the equity risk premium. 2) Add applicable premiums with justification: size premium, country risk premium, or company-specific risk — resisting double-counting. 3) Cost of debt: current yield on existing debt or synthetic rating approach, then apply the tax shield at {tax_rate}%. 4) Determine capital structure weights: market values, not book, with the target vs. current structure decision explained. 5) Compute WACC and present the buildup as a table. 6) Provide a sensitivity range: WACC under reasonable alternative beta and ERP choices.
