WACC. Grey's Pharmaceuticals has a new project that will require funding of $1.3 million. The company has decided to pursue an all-debt scenario. Grey's has made agreements with four lenders for the needed financing. These lenders will advance the following amounts at the interest rates shown: Lender Amount Interest Rate Steven $471,035- 16% Yang $394,713 -13% Shepherd $310,768 -11% Bailey $123,484 -12%
What is the weighted average cost of capital for the $1,300,000?
Step 1:We would first calculate the total interest expenditure on these 4 debts:
Lender name | Amount | Interest rate | Interest amount |
Steven | 4,71,035 | 16% | 75,366 |
Yang | 3,94,713 | 13% | 51,313 |
Shepherd | 3,10,768 | 11% | 34,184 |
Bailey | 1,23,484 | 12% | 14,818 |
Total | 13,00,000 | 1,75,681 |
Step 2: Calculation of weighted average cost of capital:
Total interest amount/Total loan amount
=175,681/13,00,000
=13.51%
Hence, the weighted average cost of capital is 13.51%
