Cost of Capital

Cost of Capital - The return the firm’s investors could expect to earn if they invested in securities with comparable degrees of risk.

Capital Structure - The firm’s mix of long term financing and equity financing.

Interest is tax deductible. Given a 35% tax rate, debt only costs us 5.2% (i.e. 8 % x .65).

11.4%=(.7x14%)+(.3x5.2%)= WACC

WACC

Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) - The expected rate of return on a portfolio of all the firm’s securities.

Company cost of capital = Weighted average of debt and equity returns.

WACC

Three Steps to Calculating Cost of Capital

1. Calculate the value of each security as a proportion of the firm’s market value.

2. Determine the required rate of return on each security.

3. Calculate a weighted average of these required returns.


12- 11

WACC

Taxes are an important consideration in the company cost of capital because interest payments are deducted from income before tax is calculated.

A f te r - ta x c o s t o f d e b t = p re ta x c o s t x (1 - ta x r a te )

= r x (1 - T c )d e b t

WACC

Example - Executive Fruit has issued debt, preferred stock and common stock. The market value of these securities are $4mil, $2mil, and $6mil, respectively. The required returns are 6%, 12%, and 18%, respectively.

Q: Determine the WACC for Executive Fruit, Inc.

WACC

Issues in Using WACC

Debt has two costs. 1)return on debt and 2)increased cost of equity demanded due to the increase in risk

Betas may change with capital structure

Corporate taxes complicate the analysis and may change our

decision

Measuring Capital Structure

In estimating WACC, do not use the Book Value of securities.

In estimating WACC, use the Market Value of the securities.

Book Values often do not represent the true market value of a firm’s securities.


12- 19

Irwin/McGraw Hill


Market Value of Bonds - PV of all coupons and par value discounted at the current interest rate.


12- 20

Irwin/McGraw Hill


Market Value of Bonds - PV of all coupons and par value discounted at the current interest rate.

Market Value of Equity - Market price per share multiplied by the number of outstanding shares.

Flotation Costs

The cost of implementing any financing decision must be incorporated into the cash flows of the project being evaluated.

Only the incremental costs of financing should be included.

This is sometimes called Adjusted Present Value.
