Compute cost of debt
Compute cost of equity
Compute WACC
Debt:
Number of bonds outstanding = 500
Current Price = $1,068
Market Value of Debt = 500 * $1,068
Market Value of Debt = $534,000
Annual YTM = 5.648%
Before-tax Cost of Debt = 5.648%
After-tax Cost of Debt = 5.648% * (1 - 0.35)
After-tax Cost of Debt = 3.6712%
Equity:
Number of shares outstanding = 21,000
Current Price = $68
Market Value of Equity = 21,000 * $68
Market Value of Equity = $1,428,000
Cost of Equity = Risk-free Rate + Beta * (Market Return -
Risk-free Rate)
Cost of Equity = 1.00% + 1.30 * (10.00% - 1.00%)
Cost of Equity = 12.70%
Market Value of Firm = Market Value of Debt + Market Value of
Equity
Market Value of Firm = $534,000 + $1,428,000
Market Value of Firm = $1,962,000
Weight of Debt = $534,000 / $1,962,000
Weight of Debt = 0.2722
Weight of Equity = $1,428,000 / $1,962,000
Weight of Equity = 0.7278
WACC = Weight of Debt * After-tax Cost of Debt + Weight of
Equity *Cost of Equity
WACC = 0.2722 * 3.6712% + 0.7278 * 12.70%
WACC = 10.24%
