Food manufacturers often use hydrogenated fats as functional ingredients to improve the shelf-life of food materials. The chemical process through which hydrogenated fats are produced is termed as fat hydrogenation. Essentially, this process involves addition of hydrogen atoms to a double bond existing between carbon atoms in a fatty acid chain, which turns unsaturated fats into saturated ones (Leigh). During fat hydrogenation, hydrogen gas is forced into unsaturated fats such as oils at a very high temperature (250 to 400oC) and pressure in the presence of a metal catalyst such as nickel, copper, zinc or platinum. The high temperature allows for the ...

WACC Calculations

WACC by Gordon Valuation: Cost of Equity (Ke): Formula = Ke = [dividend for the year (1 + growth) / Market value of share] + growth Ke = [RM 0.20 (1 + 10%) / RM 4.20] + 10% Ke = 15.2%

Value of Equity (Ve):

Vie = Number of shares in issue x market value of the share Ve = 1,000,000 x RM 4.20 = RM 4,200,000

Cost of Debt (Kd):

Formula = Kd = Interest rate / Market Value of debt Kd = 10% / 1,000,000 = 0.00001

Value of Debt (Vd):

Vd = 1,000,000 x 1.125 Vd = 1,125,000 WACC = [Ve/Ve+Vd] x Ke + [Vd/Ve+Vd] x ...
