The weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is a useful measure for businesses deciding whether or not to invest. WACC is a financial model that helps companies understand how investment decisions will effect their finances. Companies and investors will be able to determine whether or not to proceed with investment initiatives based on the information offered by applying WACC calculations, such as a company's share value. WACC will be used by financial analysts to determine critical investing parameters such as the net present value of a firm and the potential for future cash flows. WACC is used to complete these computations, and the result is divided by the number of shareholders' equity.

The role of finance is undergoing a significant shift. As businesses strive for growth and competitiveness in an increasingly complex and dynamic market, finance leaders are being challenged to add more value beyond their traditional responsibilities.Insights from Microsoft’s Economic Guardians of the Future report show finance teams are going through an evolution and must strike the right balance between strategic innovation and protecting the long-term health of their company.
