(Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 4 decimal places, e.g., .3216.) b. If the company is evaluating a new investment project that has the same risk as the firm's typical project, what rate should the firm use to discount the project's cash flows? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
a
MV of equity=Price of equity*number of shares outstanding |
MV of equity=39*9100000 |
=354900000 |
MV of Bond=Par value*bonds outstanding*%age of par |
MV of Bond=1000*350000*1.1 |
=385000000 |
MV of firm = MV of Equity + MV of Bond |
=354900000+385000000 |
=739900000 |
Weight of equity = MV of Equity/MV of firm |
Weight of equity = 354900000/739900000 |
W(E)=0.4797 |
Weight of debt = MV of Bond/MV of firm |
Weight of debt = 385000000/739900000 |
W(D)=0.5203 |
b
Cost of equity |
As per CAPM |
Cost of equity = risk-free rate + beta * (Market risk premium) |
Cost of equity% = 5 + 1.25 * (7.9) |
Cost of equity% = 14.88 |
Cost of debt |
K = Nx2 |
Bond Price =∑ [(Semi Annual Coupon)/(1 + YTM/2)^k] + Par value/(1 + YTM/2)^Nx2 |
k=1 |
K =10x2 |
1100 =∑ [(4.7*1000/200)/(1 + YTM/200)^k] + 1000/(1 + YTM/200)^10x2 |
k=1 |
YTM = 3.5058357223 |
After tax cost of debt = cost of debt*(1-tax rate) |
After tax cost of debt = 3.5058357223*(1-0.21) |
= 2.769610220617 |
WACC=after tax cost of debt*W(D)+cost of equity*W(E) |
WACC=2.77*0.5203+14.88*0.4797 |
WACC% = 8.58 |
