The risk free rate of 4.2% was based on the 10-year Conventional Malaysian Government Securities (MGS) Rate as at 30 November 2015 while the market risk premium of 3.3% was computed by taking the differences of expected market return and the risk free rate. Market return is assumed to be at 20% discount on the basis of the average market return of 9.39% which is 7.512% since our market is expected to be slowed down due to current bearish economic outlook mainly by weakening commodity prices, presence of strong US Dollar and the slowdown in China. The average market return of 9.39% was computed by taking the average return of Kuala Lumpur Composite Index (FBMKLCI) from 2005 to 2014. Beta of 1.3 was the result from our team estimation of historical beta through simple linear regression method. The cost of debt of the INRI was computed using the weighted average interest of the different interest bearing borrowings of INRI and we used the average of the range of interest rate per annum obtained from the company data for our computation which resulted to a weighted average after tax cost of debt of 2.94% while the average cost of preference shares was based on the relevant instruments issued by INRI which is taken from their annual report. In overall, the WACC is 7.835% based on the market value weighted market value of INRI’s capital structure. [Refer to Appendix
