The 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.
WACC = (% of debt)(Before-tax cost
of debt)(1−T) + (% of preferred stock)(cost of preferred stock) + (% of common
stock)(cost of common stock)
