b. The following information is given for Salsano Company (SACO):
èRequired: Calculate WACC for each company. Please describe, in writing, how you calculate WACCs in 6 lines.
a.
Step 1 : Calculation of Cost of Capital
Cost of Bond= (1 + i/n)^n - 1
(Note: The cost of bond will be calculated on the basis of Face Value of Bond)
i= Rate of Interest =10%
n= Compounding time in a year= 2
Cost of Bond= (1+0.10/2)^2-1
= (1.05^2)-1
= 0.1025 or say 10.25%
Cost of Equity (Ke)= Risk Free Rate+ (Beta x Risk Premium), here risk premium is Market Rate- Risk Free Rate
Ke = 2.50+ (1.25 x 7.95)
Ke = 12.44%
Step 2: Calculation of WACC
| Value | Cost (Before Tax) | Cost after Tax | Weightage | WACC | |
| Bonds | 5000000 | 10.25% | 6.15% | 62.50% | 3.84% | 
| Equity | 3000000 | 12.44% | 12.44% | 37.50% | 4.67% | 
| Total | 8000000 | 8.51% | 
Therefore, the WACC of MAncini is 8.51%
b.
Step 1: Calculation of Cost of Capital
Cost of Bond After Tax = 12.31 (1-0.40) =7.39%
Cost of Equity = 2.50+(1.40 x 7.95) =13.63%
Step 2 : Calculation of WACC
Note: Face value of Securities not given so the calculation is done on the basis of Market Value of Securities
| Value per Share/ Bond | No. of Security | Value of Security | Weightage | Cost | WACC | |
| Bonds | 995.00 | 3000 | 2985000 | 32.91% | 7.39% | 2.43% | 
| Equity | 23.40 | 260000 | 6084000 | 67.09% | 13.63% | 9.14% | 
| Total | 9069000 | 11.58% | 
WACC of SACO is 11.58%
