Pick a non-financial S&P500 firm to work with (make sure its simulated tax rate is available in marginal tax rate.xlsx AND it has long-term debt outstanding on FINRA (see Step 3.a in the instructions file)). Estimate the companys cost of capital (WACC). Do not forget to cite your data sources.

Suggested data source: YahooFinance, Bloomberg, Factset, FINRA.

Detailed instructions and a video walk through of the Coca-Cola example are provided. (Please pick a different firm than Coca-Cola.)

What is the firms equity beta? Use the most recent 5 years of monthly return data to estimate the firm beta.
S&P500 returns (market returns) over the past five years are provided in the sample Excel file in sheet S&P500_ending Apr 2022.Be careful to match the time period between your firm returns and the S&P500 returns: your firms most recent monthly return should be 04/01/2022, this is matched with the S&P500 returns in sheet S&P500_ending Apr 2022.
Assume market risk premium is 6%.
For risk-free rate, use the current 10-year US Treasury rates on the FINRAwebsite.
3) Estimate the cost of debt.
1. Go to FINRA, find the yield-to-maturity (YTM) of the firms long-term debt. If you do not find any long-term debt with this firm, try to pick a different firm.
2. What is the pre-tax cost of debt for your company? What is the after-tax cost ofdebt? Use the simulated marginal tax rate (MTR) to compute the after-tax cost of debt.
  If the MTR is missing for a firm, try to pick a different firm.
