In October 1990, the Boeing Company announced that it was launching a new aircraft model, the 777. The task for students in this case is to evaluate the 777 against a financial standard. The students must estimate a weighted average cost of capital (WACC) with which to evaluate the project IRRs.
The general objective of this case is to exercise students' skills in estimating a weighted average cost of capital and equity. The need for students to estimate a segment WACC draws out students' abilities to critique different estimates of beta.
