Book value of equity = $ 440 million

Market value of equity = $ 880 million

Long- term debt outstanding = $ 880 million

What is the company’s WACC?

Explanation / Answer

COST OF EQUITY

= Rf + BETA * MARKET RISK PREMIUM

= 4% + 1.2 * 7.5%

= 4% + 9%

= 13%

AFTER TAX COST OF DEBT

= YTM (1 - TAX RATE)

= 6% (1 - 0.35)

= 3.9%

BBOK VALUE WEIGHT OF EQUITY ($440 / $1320) = 0.33

BBOK VALUE WEIGHT OF DEBT ($880 / $1320) = 0.67

WACC = [(0.33 * 13%) + (0.67 * 3.9%)]

= 4.29% + 2.61%

= 6.9%
