Assuming a tax rate of 35% compute the firm’s Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC)
| M & M Ltd | ||
| 1 | Debenture cost calculation | |
| Face value of debentures | 1,000 | |
| Total debenture face value | 500,000 | |
| No of Debentures issued | 500 | |
| Market Value of Debentures | 950 | |
| Annual interest amount per denture @10% = | 100 | |
| Cost of Debenture =Interest /Market value=100/950= | 10.53% | |
| Tax Rate =35% | ||
| Post Tax cost of debenture =10.53% *(1-35%)= | 6.84% | |
| Total market Value of debentures | 475,000 |
| 2 | Cost of Preference share Calc | |
| Preference share face value | 400,000 | |
| Assuming Par value of each Pref share = | 100 | |
| No of Pref shares issued= | 4,000 | |
| Market Value of each Pref share | 60 | |
| Annual dividend per Pref share = | 6 | |
| Cost of Pref share =6/60= | 10.00% | |
| Total Market Value of Pref Shares | 240,000 |
| 3 | Cost of Equity Calc | ||
| Year | Dividend /share | Div Growth | Div Growth rate |
| 2011 | 2 | ||
| 2012 | 2.16 | 0.16 | 8.0% |
| 2013 | 2.37 | 0.21 | 9.7% |
| 2014 | 2.6 | 0.23 | 9.7% |
| 2015 | 2.8 | 0.20 | 7.7% |
| 2016 | 3.08 | 0.28 | 10.0% |
| 2017 | 3.38 | 0.30 | 9.7% |
| 2018 | 3.7 | 0.32 | 9.5% |
| Average Dividend Growth rate =9.2% | ||
| Market Price per share now =P0=50 | ||
| Last dividend paid =3.7 | ||
| Average dividend growth rate =9.2% | ||
| Assume cost of equity =Ke | ||
| So Ke =d0(1+g)/P0 +g | ||
| Ke= 3.7*(1.092)/50 +9.2% | ||
| Ke =17.28% | ||
| So cost of Equity =17.28% | ||
| Total no of shares issued = | 10,000 | |
| Market Price /share | 50 | |
| Market value of shares= | 500,000 |
| 4 | WACC calculation | ||||
| Capital Type | Market Value | Weight of market value | Post Tax cost | Weighted cost | |
| Debenture | 475,000 | 39.1% | 6.84% | 2.67% | |
| Preference share | 240,000 | 19.8% | 10.00% | 1.98% | |
| Equity | 500,000 | 41.2% | 17.28% | 7.11% | |
| Total | 1,215,000 | 100.0% | 11.76% |
| So WACC of M&M =11.76% |
