    Question…I noticed in Becker that the WACC calculated for the debt portion is net of tax. But then in Wiley, the book doesn’t mention anything about netting it with tax. Am I going crazy? Help!

    Also, the lightbulb went off? or on? this morning when I was reviewing Free Cash Flow…its the calculation for Stmt of cash flow!! cant believe it took me that long to compare it to that. Smh. The next 23 days is going to be brutal!

    When calculating WACC, you always want to include the income tax implications of the interest expense deductibility on the underlying debt. To not include it would be to not properly calculate WACC because the tax savings from interest expense deductibility decreases WACC.

    Thank you musicamor!! It make sense to include income tax implications but not sure why the other book didn't show it that way.
