Question 6
Consider the following balance sheet of a publicly held
company:
Cash $760,000 Long Term Debt $7,633,500
Receivables $1,250,000 Common Stocks $14,176,500
Inventories $2,225,000
Net Equipment $17,575,000
It is estimated that the yield to maturity on bonds are 9%. The
company faces a marginal tax rate of 28%. Assume that stock price
of this company rises such that it would sell at 1.35 times its
book value (amount in the balance sheet) causing its cost of equity
to move to 11.5%.
What would be the weighted average cost of capital for this
firm?

Question 7
Consider the following balance sheet of a publicly held
company:
Cash $760,000 Long Term Debt $7,633,500
Receivables $1,250,000 Common Stocks $14,176,500
Inventories $2,225,000
Net Equipment $17,575,000
Currently the stocks are selling for a price equal to its book
value and bonds are selling at par. It is estimated that the
stockholders require a return of 13% while the yield to maturity on
bonds are 9%. The company faces a marginal tax rate of 34%. What is
the weighted average cost of capital for this firm?

1)MV of equity = 1.35*14176500=19138275
Total Capital value = Value of Stock + Value of Debt |
=19138275+7633500 |
=26771775 |
Weight of Stock = Value of Stock/Total Capital Value |
= 19138275/26771775 |
=0.7149 |
Weight of Debt = Value of Debt/Total Capital Value |
= 7633500/26771775 |
=0.2851 |
After tax cost of debt = cost of debt*(1-tax rate) |
After tax cost of debt = 9*(1-0.28) |
= 6.48 |
WACC=after tax cost of debt*W(D)+cost of equity*W(E) |
WACC=6.48*0.2851+11.5*0.7149 |
WACC =10.07% |
2)
Total Capital value = Value of Stock + Value of Debt |
=14176500+7633500 |
=21810000 |
Weight of Stock = Value of Stock/Total Capital Value |
= 14176500/21810000 |
=0.65 |
Weight of Debt = Value of Debt/Total Capital Value |
= 7633500/21810000 |
=0.35 |
After tax cost of debt = cost of debt*(1-tax rate) |
After tax cost of debt = 9*(1-0.34) |
= 5.94 |
WACC=after tax cost of debt*W(D)+cost of equity*W(E) |
WACC=5.94*0.35+13*0.65 |
WACC =10.53% |
