Teletech Case 15 1. How does Teletech Corporation currently use the hurdle rate? Teletech Corporation currently uses a single hurdle rate for both of their divisions. The divisions are Telecommunications Services and Products and Services. They use the hurdle rate based on the cost of capital which is a rough estimate of the Teletech’s WACC. They calculate it at 9.3% based on the cost of capital‚ beta‚ and WACC. 2. Please estimate the segments WACCs for Teletech (see worksheet Exhibit 1)
