1)Healthy Foods has 23,000 shares of common stock outstanding at a price per share of $60 and a rate of return of 14.2 percent. The firm has $300,000 of preferred stock outstanding at a rate of 8%. The outstanding debt has a total value of $357,000 and the yield-to-maturity on the debt is 7percent before tax. What is the firm's weighted average cost of capital if the tax rate is 40 percent? Show calculations
2)Bono Inc. is considering a project that costs $10 million but will produce cash inflows of $5.1 million for 3 years. Bono Inc. has a target equity ratio of 60% and a target debt ratio of 40%. The company’s cost of equity is 13% and the after tax cost of debt is 6%. What is the NPV of the project? Assume the project has average risk. Show calculations.
Answer : 1) Calculation of Weighted Average cost of Capital :
Calculation of WACC of the Firm
WACC = (Cost of After tax Debt * Weight of Debt) + ( Cost of Equity * Weight of Equity) + (Cost of Preferred Stock * Weight of Preferred Stock)
Calculation of Weights of Debt , Equity and Preferred Stock
Value of Debt = 357,000
Market Value of Equity = Number of Equity shares * Price per share
= 23,000 * 60
= 1,380,000
Market Value of Preferred Stock = 300,000
Total Value = Value of Debt + Market Value of Equity + Value of Preferred Stock
= 357,000 + 1,380,000 + 300,000
= 2,037,000
Weight of Debt = Value of Debt / Total Market Value
= 357000 / 2037000
= 0.17525773195 or 0.1752
Weight of Preferred Stock = Value of Preferred Stock / Total Market Value
= 300000 / 2037000
= 0.147275405 or 0.1473
Weight of Equity = Market Value of Equity / Total Market Value
= 1,380,000 / 2037000
= 0.67746686303 or 0.6775
WACC = [7% * (1 - 0.40) * 0.17525773195] + [ 14.2% * 0.67746686303] + [8% * 0.147275405]
= 0.7361% + 9.62% + 1.1782%
= 11.5343% or 11.53%
Answer : 2 ) Calculation of Net Present Value
Net Present Value = Present Value of Cash Inflow - Present value of Cash Outflow
For the purpose of calculation of Present value we need to calculate WACC
WACC = (Cost of After tax Debt * Weight of Debt) + ( Cost of Equity * Weight of Equity)
= (6% * 0.40) + (13% * 0.60)
= 10.20%
Net Present Value = (Annual Cash Inflow * PVAF @ 10.20% for 3 years) - 10,000,000
= (5,100,000 * 2.47812179169) - 10,000,000
= 12,638,421.1376 - 10,000,000
= 2,638,421.1376
