- No of Zero Coupon Bonds issued 4 years ago = 151,000
Orginally issued for 30 years, 4 years ago.
No of years left to maturity = 30 years - 4 years
= 26 years
YTM now = 8.2%
Calculating the price of Zero Coupon Bonds:-
where, Par Value of Zero Coupon Bond = $1,000
YTM = 8.2%
n = 26 years
Price = $128.85
So, Price of bond = $128.85
- Market Value of Company's Debt = Price of Bond*No of Zero Coupon Bonds
=$128.85*151,000
= $19,456,350
- Market value of equity = $46.6 million
Total market Value of Capital Structure = Market value of equity + Market Value of Company's Debt
= $19,456,350 + $46,600,000
= $66,056,350
Weight of Debt to be used in Cost of capital = Market Value of Company's Debt/Total market Value of Capital Structure
=$19,456,350/$$66,056,350
= 29.4542%
