Abstract There are some practical difficulties in using the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) as a discount rate for evaluating projects in the context of a private limited company. In the absence of market prices for the equity of such a firm, standard capital asset pricing models (CAPM) cannot be applied. This note outlines an indirect and roundabout way of estimating WACC in such contexts.
