Expert Solution

The present Debt to equity ratio= 90000000/ 90000000=1:1

a. So, 90 mln.*50%= 45 mln.should be financed by Equity

Balance 90-45 = 45000000 should be the total equity

b. Current retained earnings in the total common equity= 9000000

so, common equity= 90000000-9000000= 81000000

ie. Retained Earnings :Common Equity= 1/10:9/10 or 1:9

Proceeding in the same ratio,

Internal equity or Retained earnings raised should be 1/10*45000000=

4500000

External equity raised should be 9/10*45000000=

40500000

c.Cost of each of the components

Cost of Retained Earnings=12%

Stockholders' Reqd. rate of return = 12%

Cost of new common stock

Using Gordon's DDM, we find the growth rate as foolws:

Where, Cost of Equity=(Next dividend/Current mkt.price)+Growth rate g

ie.12%=(1.6/40)+g

g=12%-(1.6/40)

Now, applying this growth rate g=8%

we find the cost of new issue which nets only $ 36

ie. Ke=(1.6/36)+8%

12.44%

So, Cost of new common stock= 12.44%

After-tax Cost of debt= Before-tax cost*(1-Tax Rate)

ie. 10%*(1-40%)=

Now, finding the WACC for raising the $ 90 mln.

WACC=

(Wt.d*Kd)+(Wt.e*ke)+(Wt.re*K re)=

(50%*6%)+(45%*12.44%)+(5%*12%)=

9.20%

Alternately,
Type of capital	Amt.	Wt. to total	Cost	Wt.*Cost
External equity	40500000	0.45	12.44%	0.056
Retained earning	4500000	0.05	12.00%	0.006
Debt	45000000	0.5	6%	0.03
Total	90000000	1	WACC=	9.20%
