Answer:
Debt:
Number of bonds outstanding = 9,200
Face Value = $2,000
Current Price = 108.5% * $2,000 =
$2,170
Value of Debt = 9,200 * $2,170
Value of Debt = $19,964,000
Annual Coupon Rate = 7.30%
Semiannual Coupon Rate = 3.65%
Semiannual Coupon = 3.65% * $2,000 = $73
Time to Maturity = 22 years
Semiannual Period to Maturity = 44
Let semiannual YTM be i%
$2,170 = $73 * PVIFA(i%, 44) + $2,000 * PVIF(i%, 44)
Using financial calculator:
N = 44
PV = -2170
PMT = 73
FV = 2000
I = 3.28%
Semiannual YTM = 3.28%
Annual YTM = 2 * 3.28%
Annual YTM = 6.56%
Before-tax Cost of Debt = 6.56%
After-tax Cost of Debt = 6.56% * (1 - 0.23)
After-tax Cost of Debt = 5.0512%
Preferred Stock:
Number of shares outstanding = 9,800
Current Price = $95.80
Annual Dividend = 4.65% * $100 = $4.65
Value of Preferred Stock = 9,800 * $95.80
Value of Preferred Stock = $938,840
Cost of Preferred Stock = Annual Dividend / Current Price
Cost of Preferred Stock = $4.65 / $95.80
Cost of Preferred Stock = 4.8539%
Equity:
Number of shares outstanding = 315,000
Current Price = $66.30
Value of Common Stock = 315,000 * $66.30
Value of Common Stock = $20,884,500
Using CAPM Model,
Cost of Common Equity = Risk-free Rate + Beta * Market Risk
Premium
Cost of Common Equity = 4.5% + (1.08 * 10.2%)
Cost of Common Equity = 15.516%
Using Growth Model,
Cost of Equity = D1 / P0 + g
Cost of Equity = $4.50 / $66.30 + 0.053
Cost of Equity = 12.0873%
Average Cost of Equity = (15.516% + 12.0873%)/2
Average Cost of Equity = 13.8017%
Value of Firm = Value of Debt + Value of Preferred Stock + Value
of Common Stock
Value of Firm = $19,964,000 + $938,840 + $20,884,500
Value of Firm = $41,787,340
Weight of Debt = $19,964,000 / $41,787,340
Weight of Debt = 0.4777
Weight of Preferred Stock = $938,840 / $41,787,340
Weight of Preferred Stock = 0.0225
Weight of Common Stock = $20,884,500 / $41,787,340
Weight of Common Stock = 0.4998
WACC = Weight of Debt*After-tax Cost of Debt + Weight of
Preferred Stock*Cost of Preferred Stock + Weight of Common
Stock*Cost of Common Stock
WACC = (0.4777 * 5.0512%) + (0.0225 * 4.8539%) + (0.4998 *
13.8017%)
WACC = 9.42%
