Question

Please help me answer these questions. Thank you.

A company has 10 million shares outstanding trading for $7 per share. It also has $300 million in outstanding debt. If its equity cost of capital is 15%, and its debt cost of capital is 9%, and its effective corporate tax rate is 40%, what is its weighted average cost of capital?

A company has the opportunity to do any of the projects for which the net cash flows per year are shown below. The company has a cost of capital of 12%. Which should the company do and why? You must use at least two capital budgeting methods. Show your work.

A stock has just paid a dividend and has declared an annual dividend of $2.00 to be paid one year from today. The dividend is not expected to grow. The return on equity for similar stocks is 12%. What is P0?

Explanation / Answer

A company has 10 million shares outstanding trading for $7 per share. It also has $300 million in outstanding debt. If its equity cost of capital is 15%, and its debt cost of capital is 9%, and its effective corporate tax rate is 40%, what is its weighted average cost of capital?

amount of capital= 10mx7= 70m

amount of debt= 300m

total capital= 300m+70m= 370m

weighted average cost of capital= (wt of equityxcost of equity)+(wt of debtxcost of debtx(1-tax))

weighted average cost of capital= (70/370x15)+(300/370x9x.6)= 7.216% or 7.22%

A company has the opportunity to do any of the projects for which the net cash flows per year are shown below. The company has a cost of capital of 12%. Which should the company do and why? You must use at least two capital budgeting methods. Show your work.

NPV of A= -350+(100/1.12)+(100/1.12^2)+(100/1.12^3)+(100/1.12^4)+(100/1.12^5)+(50/1.12^6)-(200/1.12^7) = -$54.66

NPV of B= -250-(50/1.12)+(100/1.12^2)+(100/1.12^3)+(100/1.12^4)+(100/1.12^5)+(100/1.12^6)-(200/1.12^7) =-$88.59

NPV of C= -250+(100/1.12)+(100/1.12^2)+(100/1.12^3)+(100/1.12^4)+(100/1.12^5)+(100/1.12^6)= $161.141

Since the NPV of project C is positive we will choose project C

A stock has just paid a dividend and has declared an annual dividend of $2.00 to be paid one year from today. The dividend is not expected to grow. The return on equity for similar stocks is 12%. What is P0?

P0= D1/(Ke-g)

P0= 2/(.12-0)= $16.67
