Answer 1.
Debt:
Number of bonds outstanding = 320
Face Value = $2,000
Current Price = 109%*$2,000 = $2,180
Value of Debt = 320 * $2,180
Value of Debt = $697,600
Preferred Stock:
Number of shares outstanding = 285
Current Price = $92
Value of Preferred Stock = 285 * $92
Value of Preferred Stock = $26,220
Equity:
Number of shares outstanding = 11,600
Current Price = $50
Value of Common Stock = 11,600 * $50
Value of Common Stock = $580,000
Value of Firm = Value of Debt + Value of Preferred Stock + Value
of Common Stock
Value of Firm = $697,600 + $26,220 + $580,000
Value of Firm = $1,303,820
Weight of Common Stock = $580,000/$1,303,820
Weight of Common Stock = 0.4448
Answer 2.
Face Value = $2,000
Current Price = $1,856
Annual Coupon Rate = 6.6%
Semiannual Coupon Rate = 3.30%
Semiannual Coupon = 3.30%*$2,000 = $66
Time to Maturity = 22 years
Semiannual Period to Maturity = 44
Let semiannual YTM be i%
$1,856 = $66 * PVIFA(i%, 44) + $2,000 * PVIF(i%, 44)
Using financial calculator:
N = 44
PV = -1,856
PMT = 66
FV = 2000
I = 3.63%
Semiannual YTM = 3.63%
Annual YTM = 2 * 3.63%
Annual YTM = 7.26%
Before-tax Cost of Debt = 7.26%
After-tax Cost of Debt = 7.26% * (1 - 0.39)
After-tax Cost of Debt = 4.43%
