1. Suppose stock in Watta Corporation has a beta of .80. The market risk premium is
6 percent, and the risk-free rate is 6 percent. Watta’s last dividend was $1.20 per
share, and the dividend is expected to grow at 8 percent indefinitely. The stock
currently sells for $45 per share.
Suppose Watta has a target debt-to-equity ratio of 50 percent. It’s cost of debt is 9
percent before taxes. If the tax rate is 35 percent, what is the WACC?
Given data:
Beta B = 0.80
Risk Premium = 6%
Risk free rate R = 6%
Dividend D 1.20$
Growth rate g = 8%
Selling price P = 45$
Debt-to-equity ratio = 50%
Cost of debt Kp = 9%
Tax = 35 %
To Find:
WACC =?
Solutions:
Using the SML, we can write
Re =R;:+ B [Ru — Re]
Re = 0.06 + 0.80 [0.06]
Re = 0.06 + 0.048
Re = 0.108
Ry = 10.8%

WACC = (2/3 x 0.108) + (1/3 x 0.09(1 — 0.35))

WACC = (0.072) + (0.0195)
WACC = 0.0915
WACC = 9.15%
2. Given the following information for Evenflow Power Co., find the WACC. Assume
the company’s tax rate is 35 percent.
Debt: 8,000 6.5 percent coupon bonds outstanding, $1,000 par value, 20 years
to maturity, selling for 92 percent of par; the bonds make semi-annual payments.
Common stock: 250,000 shares outstanding, selling for $57 per share; the beta
is 1.05.
Preferred stock: 15,000 shares of 5 percent preferred stock outstanding,
currently selling for $93 per share.
Market: 8 percent market risk premium and 4.5 percent risk-free rate.
Solution:
WACC =?
WACC = (Wy X Kz) + (Wp X Kp) + (Wp X Kp(1 —T))
Amount of common equity — 250,000 * 57 — 14,250,006
Amount of preferred stock = 15,000 * 93 = 1,395,000
Amount of Debt = (1,000 * 0.92) * 8,000 = 7,360,000
