Explanation / Answer

31) Calculation of Cost of Equity (Ke)

Ke = Risk free rate (Rf) + (Market return – risk free rate) * beta

Riskfree rate

2.00%

Beta

1.11

Market return

9%

Ke = 2% + 7%*1.11 = 9.77%

32) Before tax cost of Debt

Yield to maturity (YTM) = [{Coupon + (F-P)/n} / (F+P)/2 ]

F= redeemable price

P= current price

n= no. of times

Coupon = (9%/ 2) = 4.5% semi- annually

YTM = [{4.5 + (100-108)/ 30} / (108+100)/2 ]

        =     (4.5 - 0.26667)/ 104

        = 4.07 % (for 6 months)

Bond Equivalent Yield (BEY) = 4.07*2 = 8.14%

        Therefore before tax cost of debt = 8.14%

33) After tax cost of Debt

Yield to maturity (YTM) = [{Coupon + (F-P)/n} / (F+P)/2 ]

F= redeemable price

P= current price

n= no. of times

tax rate = 35%

Coupon = (9%/ 2) = 4.5% semi- annually

YTM = [{4.5 (0.65) + (100-108)/ 30} / (108+100)/2 ]

        =     (2.925 - 0.26667)/ 104

        = 2.556% (for 6 months)

Bond Equivalent Yield (BEY) = 2.556*2 = 5.11%

        Therefore after tax cost of debt = 5.11%

34) Capital structure weight (E/V)

Amount of Equity

Shares

5,00,00,000

Price

80

Value

4,000,000,000

Amount of Debt = 1,080,000,000

Amount

Weight

Debt

1,080

0.2126

Equity

4000

0.7874

Total

5,080

1

Therefore (E/V) = 78.74%

35) WACC

WACC = wD*rD *(1-t) + wE*rE

w = the respective weight of debt, preferred stock/equity, and equity in the total capital structure

Amount

Weight (a)

Cost (b)

Product (a*b)

Debt

1,080

0.2126

5.11%

0.01086378

Equity

4000

0.7874

9.77%

0.076929134

Total

5,080

1

0.087792913

WACC= 8.77%

Riskfree rate

2.00%

Beta

1.11

Market return

9%
