Using the WACC can still be useful, according to Financial Management. WACC is the minimum rate of return required to create value for firms. Investors will have sufficient reason to continue investing in a given firm if it earns a return equal to or more than the WACC. The formula is: WACC = ke[VE ÷ (VE + VD)] + kd(1 – t)[VD ÷ (VE + VD)].
