ALTERNATIVE SOLUTIONS
Cohen calculated a weighted average cost
of capital (WACC) of 8.4 percent by using
the capital asset pricing model (CAPM), but
we do not agree with Cohen’s figure and
the reason to that are as follows :
Value of Equity : 11503.2
Value of Debt : 1296.6
Weighting : Wd = 10.13%
We = 89,87%9
ALTERNATIVE SOLUTIONSCost of Debt and Equity
Risk Free rate : 10 year yield on US
Treasuries 5.39%
Market risk premium : Geometric mean 5.9%
Beta (Average) : 0.8
Cost of Debt : 7.17%
Cost of Equity : Rrf = 10,11 %
WACC = wdrd(1 – T) + wpsrps + wsrs = 9.5%10
RECOMMENDATION

RECOMMENDATIONAs per the calculations done and the
table given the stock price at WACC = 9.5% or we can say close to BUY so the stock price should be $ 55.68, which is higher than current stock price $ 42.09
These calculation clearly shows that the current stock of Nike undervalued and is discounted rate of 11.17
The recommendation is to invest in the Nike, as the stock is undervalued for the calculated cost of capital, WACC = 9.5%
