Hello. I'd like the functions in order to calculate the following myself. I am attaching the numbers I have for Ecolab but I am not sure if it contains what I need in order to solve this so if at least I can get the formulas then I can figure it out before-tax and after-tax component cost of debt; (Note: Use 21 % tax rate for your chosen corporation). component cost of preferred stock if the company uses preferred stocks in its capital structure; three approaches (CAPM, DCF, bond-yield-plus-risk-premium) to estimate the component cost of common equity of the firm. Then assign a weight for each method and estimate weighted average cost of equity. Using this average: - Calculate the firm’s weighted average cost of capital (WACC) using market-based capital weights. - Calculate the firm’s weighted average cost of capital (WACC) using book-based capital weights. - Calculate the firm’s weighted average cost of capital (WACC) using optimal capital structure weights   Ecolab Inc (NYS: ECL)       Exchange rate used is that of the Year End reported date            As Reported Annual Balance Sheet    Report Date 12/31/2018 Currency USD Audit Status Not Available Consolidated Yes Scale Thousands Cash & cash equivalents 114700 Short-term investments  - Accounts receivable, gross 2723100 Allowance for doubtful accounts 60600 Accounts receivable, net 2662500 Finished goods 1016900 Raw materials & parts 525600 Inventories at first-in, first-out ("FIFO") cost 1542500 Excess of FIFO cost over last-in, first-out cost -3900 Inventories 1546400 Deferred income taxes - Prepaid expenses & other current assets - Prepaid assets 132100 Derivative assets 42800 Other current assets 35000 Other current assets 354100 Total current assets 4677700 Taxes receivable 144200 Land 214500 Buildings & improvements - Buildings & leasehold improvements 1279400 Leasehold improvements - Buildings & leaseholds - Machinery & equipment 2313700 Merchandising equipment - Merchandising & customer equipment 2565500 Capitalized software 666200 Construction in progress 400200 Property, plant & equipment, gross 7439500 Accumulated depreciation 3603500 Property, plant & equipment, net 3836000 Investment in Henkel-Ecolab joint venture - Net assets of Ecolab Europe - Net assets of Ecolab Inc. & discontinued operations - Goodwill 7078000 Other intangible assets, net 3797700 Other assets, net - Intangible assets, net - Deferred income taxes 105100 Deferred financing costs - Pension 39000 Derivative assets 11800 Restricted cash 179300 Sole supply fees - Other assets 349900 Other assets 685100 Total assets 20074500 Commercial paper 165400 Notes payable 176800 Long-term debt, current maturities 401400 Short-term debt 743600 Accounts payable 1255600 Compensation & benefits 579700 Property, payroll & other taxes - Other accrued expenses - Dividends payable - Income taxes 100600 Other current liabilities - Discounts & rebates 291300 Dividends payable 132400 Interest payable 44500 Taxes payable, other than income 116900 Derivative liabilities 20100 Foreign exchange contracts - Restructuring 73700 Contract liability 75800 Future consideration payable to Champion sellers - Other current liabilities 251400 Other current liabilities 1006100 Total current liabilities 3685600 Senior notes 6447400 Series A & B senior notes 249400 Notes - Capital lease obligations 6200 Euro notes - Commercial paper - Medium-term notes - Multicurrency credit agreement - Other long-term debt - Total debt 6703000 Long-term debt, current maturities 401400 Long-term debt 6301600 Postretirement health care & pension benefits 944300 Deferred income taxes 764600 Deferred income taxes - Income taxes payable - noncurrent - Restructuring - Other liabilities - Other liabilities 324800 Other liabilities - Series A cumulative perferred stock - Total liabilities 12020900 Common stock 357000 Additional paid-in capital 5633200 Retained earnings 8909500 Deferred compensation - Cumulative translation - Unrealized gain (loss) on derivative financial instruments, net of tax 2000 Unrecognized pension & postretirement benefit expense, net of tax -518900 Cumulative translation, net of tax -1244800 Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) -1761700 Treasury stock 5134800 Total Ecolab, Inc. shareholders' equity 8003200 Noncontrolling interest 50400 Total equity 8053600

Hello. I'd like the functions in order to calculate the following myself. I am attaching the numbers I have for Ecolab but I am not sure if it contains what I need in order to solve this so if at least I can get the formulas then I can figure it out

  • before-tax and after-tax component cost of debt; (Note: Use 21 % tax rate for your chosen corporation).
  • component cost of preferred stock if the company uses preferred stocks in its capital structure;
  • three approaches (CAPM, DCF, bond-yield-plus-risk-premium) to estimate the component cost of common equity of the firm. Then assign a weight for each method and estimate weighted average cost of equity. Using this average:

- Calculate the firm’s weighted average cost of capital (WACC) using market-based capital weights.

- Calculate the firm’s weighted average cost of capital (WACC) using book-based capital weights.

- Calculate the firm’s weighted average cost of capital (WACC) using optimal capital structure weights
