摘要：
A few simple examples reveal that existing WACC formula for valuation conflicts with the principle of value's additivity. Based on the discounted cash flow method and the principle of value's additivity, accurate WACC formula is derived. Comparative analysis of the two formulas suggests that only in very few cases two formulas yield the same results; under certain strong conditions, existing formula can be used as an approximate alternative for the accurate WACC formula; in most cases, existing formula may result significant positive valuation bias. After numerically analysis of the valuation bias, practical suggestion about the usage of the two formulas is presented.
