Weighted Average Cost of Capital. This means the overall (blended) rate of return that a business (or other financial asset) has to generate to satisfy (a) its shareholders, and (b) its loan providers.
For example, if a business has an equity/debt ratio of 1:3, and the shareholders expect a 15% return and the lenders expect a 5% return, then the WACC would be 7.5%.
The equity and debt rates of return are in theory determined by the business's risk profile which can be calculated with reference to the risk-free rate, using the Capital Asset Pricing Model.
