Answer:
Explanation:
(1) Cost of short-term debt after tax : 8% ( 1 – tax rate)
= 8% ( 1 – 35%)
= 8% (65%)
= 5.2%
Market value of Short term debt ( in million $) = 5
(2) Cost of long-term debt after tax: 8% ( 1 – tax rate)
= 8% ( 1 – 35%)
= 8% (65%)
= 5.2%
Market value of long term debt ( in $ million) = ( par value of Debt * coupon rate) / Yield
= (30 * 8%) / 12%
= 2.4 / 12%
= 20
(3) Market price of preferred stock = annual Dividend / Yield to investor
= ($2.50*4) / 0.11
= $ 10 / 0.11
= $ 90.909
Cost of new preferred stock = Annual dividend / Current market price – floatation cost
= ($2.50*4) / $ 90.909 – ( 3% * $ 90.909)
= $ 10 / $ 90.909 – $ 2.727
= $ 10 / $ 88.182
= 0.1134
= 11.34%
Market value of Preferred stock ($ millions) = Par value of Preferred * Annual Dividend rate / Yield
= 5 * ( $ 10 / $ 100) / 0.11
= 5 * 0.1 / 0.11
= 0.5 / 0.11
= 4.545454
(4) Market value of Common stock ($ millions) = No of common stock outstanding * Current market price
= 4 * 20
= 80
Retention ratio = (1 – dividend pay-out ratio)
= (1 – $1 / $ 2)
= (1 – 0.5)
= 0.5
= 50%
Growth rate = return on equity * retention ratio
= 26% * 0.5
= 13%
Cost of common stock (Alternative 1) = (Dividend for next year / Current market price) + growth rate
= [1 ( 1+ 0.13) / 20 ] + 13%
= [1 ( 1.13) / 20 ] + 13%
= [1.13 / 20 ] + 13%
= 5.65% + 13%
= 18.65%
Cost of common stock (alternative 2) = Risk free rate + Beta (Market risk premium)
= 10% + [(1.3 + 1.7)/2] [(4.5% + 5.5%) /2]
= 10% + [(1.3 + 1.7)/2] [(4.5% + 5.5%) /2]
= 10% + (1.5)( 5%)
=10% + 7.5%
= 17.5%
Cost of Common stock (Alternative 3) = Yield on TII Bond + Average Risk premium
= 12% + (4% + 6%) / 2
= 12% + (10%) / 2
= 12% + 5%
= 17%
Cost of common stock = Highest of Alternative 1, Alternative 2 & Alternative 3
= Highest of (18.65%, 17.5% and 17%)
= 18.65%
Answer : Weighted Average cost of capital (WACC) of Company is 15.28% (take a look to the document attached)
