Estimating WACC and Expected Growth in Dividends Model Assume FedEx Corporation (NYSE: FDX) was trading at $107.47 at May 31, 2011. Its dividend per share was $0.36, its market beta was estimated to be 0.7, its average borrowing rate is 7.6%, and its marginal tax rate is 36%. FedEx's market value of equity (market cap) is $32.95 billion and its total market value (enterprise value) is $34.31 billion. Assume a risk-free rate of 5.2% and a market risk premium of 5.6% to answer the following requirements.
