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% By dividend growth approach, mye Phy i P g _ Do(1 +9) .

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 We; =?
