e. Calculate the WACC for the following:

Explanation / Answer
a. Total capital = preferred stock + bonds + common stock
Total capital = 350+400+685
Total capital = $1,435 millions
weight of common stock = 685/1435 = 0.48
b. Price = Dividend/cost of preferred stock
32.55 = 4.11/cost of preferred stock
cost of preferred stock = 4.11/32.55
cost of preferred stock = 12.63%
c. Price = Dividend * (1+growth rate)/(cost of common stock - growth rate)
44.82 = (1.56 * 1.06)/(cost of common stock - 0.06)
cost of common stock - 0.06 = 0.037
cost of common stock = 0.037 + 0.06
cost of common stock = 0.969
cost of common stock = 9.69%
d. Price of bond = Coupon1/(1+yield) + Coupon2/(1+yield)2 + Coupon3/(1+yield)3 + ......................+ Coupon20+face value)/(1+yield)20
Price of bond = 80/1.09 + 80/1.092 + 80/1.093 + ................ + 1080/1.0920
Price of bond = $908.71
e. weights :
total capital = 100 + 200 + 50 = $350 millions
bond = 100/350 = 0.29
common = 200/350 = 0.58
Preferred = 50/350 = 0.13
WACC = 0.29 * 0.08 + 0.58 * 0.06 + 0.13 * 0.09
WACC = 0.0232 + 0.0348 + 0.0117
WACC = 6.97%
