An Overview of the Cost of CapitalAn Overview of the Cost of Capital
The cost of capital acts as a link between the firm’slong-term investment decisions and the wealth of theowners as determined by investors in themarketplace.
It is the “magic number” that is used to decidewhether a proposed investment will increase ordecrease the firm’s stock price.
Formally, the cost of capital is the rate of return thata firm must earn on the projects in which it invests to
maintain the market value of its stock.

Some Key AssumptionsSome Key Assumptions
Business Risk—the risk to the firm of beingunable to cover operating costs—is assumed to beunchanged. This means that the acceptance of agiven project does not affect the firm’s ability to
meet operating costs. Financial Risk—the risk to the firm of being
unable to cover required financial obligations—isassumed to be unchanged. This means that the
projects are financed in such a way that the firm’sability to meet financing costs is unchanged.
After-tax costs are considered relevant—the costof capital is measured on an after-tax basis.

Assume the ABC company has the following investment opportunity:
- Initial Investment = $100,000
- Useful Life = 20 years
- IRR = 7%
- Least cost source of financing, Debt = 6%
Given the above information, a firm’s financial manger would be inclined toaccept and undertake the investment.

Imagine now that only one week later, the firm has another available investmentopportunity
- Initial Investment = $100,000
- Useful Life = 20 years
- IRR = 12%
- Least cost source of financing, Equity = 14%
Given the above information, the firm would reject this second, yet clearly moredesirable investment opportunity.

The Basic Concept (cont.)The Basic Concept (cont.)
Why do we need to determine a company’s overall“weighted average cost of capital?”
As the above simple example clearly illustrates, usingthis piecemeal approach to evaluate investmentopportunities is clearly not in the best interest of thefirm’s shareholders.
Over the long haul, the firm must undertakeinvestments that maximize firm value.
This can only be achieved if it undertakes projects thatprovide returns in excess of the firm’s overall weightedaverage cost of financing (or WACC).

Tax effects associated with financing can
be incorporated either in capital budgetingcash flows or in cost of capital.
Most firms incorporate tax effects in thecost of capital. Therefore, focus on after-
tax costs.
Only cost of debt is affected.

The pretax cost of debt is equal to the yield-to-maturity on thefirm’s debt adjusted for flotation costs.
Recall that a bond’s yield-to-maturity depends upon a number
of factors including the bond’s coupon rate, maturity date, parvalue, current market conditions, and selling price.
After obtaining the bond’s yield, a simple adjustment must bemade to account for the fact that interest is a tax-deductibleexpense.
This will have the effect of reducing the cost of debt.

P9-17 Dillon Labs has asked its financial manager to measure the cost
of each specific type of capital as well as the weighted average cost of
capital. The weighted average cost of capital to be measured by using
the following weights: 40% Long Term Debt, 50% Common Stock

Before-Tax Cost of Debt
Using Cost Quotations
When the net proceeds from the sale of a bond equal its parvalue, the before-tax cost equals the coupon interest rate.
A second quotation that is sometimes used is the yield-to-
maturity (YTM) on a similar risk bond.

Before-Tax Cost of Debt
Calculating the Cost
This approach finds the before-tax cost of debt by
calculating the internal rate of return (IRR).
As discussed in earlier in the text, YTM can be calculated
using: (a) trial and error, (b) a financial calculator, or (c) a
spreadsheet.

Find the after-tax cost of debt for Dillon Labassuming it has a 40% tax rate:
ri = 9.4% (1-.40) = 5.6%
This suggests that the after-tax cost of raising debtcapital for Dillon Lab is ≈ 6.50%

There are two forms of common stock financing: retained
earnings and new issues of common stock.
In addition, there are two different ways to estimate the cost
of common equity: any form of the dividend valuation model,and the capital asset pricing model (CAPM).
The dividend valuation models are based on the premise that
the value of a share of stock is based on the present value of all
future dividends.

Earnings can be reinvested or paid out as dividends.
Investors could buy other securities, earn a return.
Thus, there is an opportunity cost if earnings arereinvested.
Opportunity cost: The return stockholders could earnon alternative investments of equal risk.
They could buy similar stocks and earn ks, or companycould repurchase its own stock and earn ks. So, ks, isthe cost of reinvested earnings and it is the cost ofequity.

The CAPM differs from dividend valuation models in that itexplicitly considers the firm’s risk as reflected in beta.
On the other hand, the dividend valuation model does notexplicitly consider risk.
Dividend valuation models use the market price (P0) as areflection of the expected risk-return preference of investors inthe marketplace.

Although both are theoretically equivalent, dividendvaluation models are often preferred because the data
required are more readily available. The two methods also differ in that the dividend
valuation models (unlike the CAPM) can easily beadjusted for flotation costs when estimating the cost
of new equity.
This will be demonstrated in the examples that follow.

expected to be paid at the end of the coming year (2013) is $4. Itsdividend payments, which have been approximately 60% of earnings per
share in each of the past 5 years, were as shown in the following table

rs = rF + b(rM - rF).
For example, if the 3-month T-bill rate is currently 5.0%, the market
risk premium is 9%, and the firm’s beta is 1.20, the firm’s cost of
retained earnings will be:
rs = 5.0% + 1.2 (9.0%) = 15.8%.

The previous example indicates that our estimate of the cost
of retained earnings is somewhere between 15.5% and 15.8%.At this point, we could either choose one or the other estimate
or average the two.
Using some managerial judgment and preferring to err on the
high side, we will use 15.10% as our final estimate of the cost
of retained earnings.

WACC = ra = wiri + wprp + wsrr or n
The weights in the above equation are intended to represent a
specific financing mix (where wi = % of debt, wp = % of preferred, and
ws= % of common).
Specifically, these weights are the target percentages of debt and
equity that will minimize the firm’s overall cost of raising funds.

One method uses book values from the firm’s balance sheet. For example, to estimate
the weight for debt, simply divide the book value of the firm’s long-term debt by the
book value of its total assets.
To estimate the weight for equity, simply divide the total book value of equity by the
book value of total assets.

A second method uses the market values of the firm’s debt andequity. To find the market value proportion of debt, simply multiply
the price of the firm’s bonds by the number outstanding. This is
equal to the total market value of the firm’s debt.
Next, perform the same computation for the firm’s equity by
multiplying the price per share by the total number of shares
outstanding.

Using the costs previously calculated along with the market
value weights, we may calculate the weighted average cost of
capital as follows:
WACC = .40(10.77%) + .10(12.70%) + .50(15.10%)
≈ 11.35%
This assumes the firm has sufficient retained earnings to fund
