Fran McClure of Alba Advisers is estimating the cost of capital of Frontier Corporation as part of her valuation analysis of Frontier. McClure will be using this estimate, along with projected cash flows from Frontier's new projects, to estimate the effect of these new projects on the value of Frontier.

The weights that McClure should apply in estimating Frontier's cost of capital for debt and equity are, respectively:
wd = 0.200; we = 0.800.
Bwd = 0.185; we = 0.815.
Cwd = 0.223; we = 0.777.
