It is calculated by taking into account the cost of debt and equity, which are the two main sources of financing for a company. The cost of debt is the interest rate that the company pays on its borrowed funds, while the cost of equity represents the return that shareholders expect to receive on their investment. By considering both the cost of debt and equity, the company can determine the appropriate discount rate to use when evaluating potential investment projects.
