The optimal capital structure should obviously be higher than the shareholders value. This helps in the control of default risks.
b) Another method is through incorporation of the hurdle rate in the compensation policy which in sense does not make sense since the rate does reflect risks of different activities and not managers performance.
Marriot Corporation measures the opportunity cost of the cost of capital for the investments using the weighted average cost of capital for similar investments that have the same risk. The WACC for the corporation is 11.89%.
I simply summed up premium according to company’s rating to a ten year US government interest rate. Kd = 8.72%+1.3% = 10.02%. a high company rating leads to a little default risk and the difference in the estimated debt cost is
