You are required to calculate the WACC for CSX. For the cost of equity, you are asked to collect prices for the firms stock (as well as the market index, use S&P 500) from a website such as www.finance.yahoo.com , calculate returns, and then find the beta by conducting regression analysis. Once you find the beta, you are asked to apply the CAPM by making appropriate assumptions (use data as much as possible) about the risk-free rate and the market risk premium. For the cost of debt, conduct research (http://quicktake.morningstar.com/StockNet/bonds.aspx?Symbol=CSX) and calculate a weighted average of the YTM to make your estimate. State and explain your assumptions.
