(See P10-3 for formula to calculate weights).
A. What would be the weight used for equity in the computation of FarCry’s WACC?
B. What weight should you use for debt in the computation of Fairyland ‘s WACC?
C. What weight should you use for preferred stock in the computation of Fairyland ‘s WACC?
No. of shares(common stock)= 4000000
Price per share 25
Value of Equity = no. of shares * price per share
4000000*25
=$100000000
No. of bonds 200000
Par value 1000
quoted price is 95% of par. it means 1000*95%= 950
Value of Debt = No. of Bonds * price per bond
950 * 200000
=$190000000
No. of Preference shares 1000000
Price per share 10
Value of Preference shares = No. of Preference shares*Price per share
1000000*10
=$ 10000000
Total amount of capital = Value of Equity + value of Bonds + Value of preference shares
100000000+190000000+10000000
$300000000
Weight of Equity = Value of Equity/Total capital
100000000/300000000
0.3333333333
Weight of debt = Value of debt/Total capital
190000000/300000000
0.6333333333
Weight of Preference = Value of Preference/Total capital
10000000/300000000
0.03333333333
So weight of Equity is 0.3333, weight of debt is 0.6334 and weight of Preference is 0.0333.
