Question

Filer Manufacturing has 9400000 shares of common stock outstanding. The current share price is $68.57, and the book value per share is $3.80. Filer Manufacturing also has two bond issues outstanding. The first bond issue has a face value of $44000000, has a 0.05 coupon, matures in 10 years and sells for 83 percent of par. The second issue has a face value of $75000000, has a 0.06 coupon, matures in 20 years, and sells for 92 percent of par.

The most recent dividend was $2.66 and the dividend growth rate is 0.03. Assume that the overall cost of debt is the weighted average of that implied by the two outstanding debt issues. Both bonds make semiannual payments. The tax rate is 0.30.

What is Filer's WACC? Enter the answer with 4 decimals (e.g. 0.2345)

Explanation / Answer

Market value of equity = 9400000*68.57 =

Cost of Equity = D1/P0 +g

=2.66*(1.03)/68.57 + 3%

=3.99% +3%

=6.99%

Market value of debt =83%* 44000,000+ 92% * 75000,000*83% =

Cost of debt = Weighted averge of yield to maturity of two bonds

YTM of first bond =RATE(10,-2200000,36520000,-44000000,0,0) =7.47%

YTM of second bond =RATE(20,-4500000,69000000,-75000000,0,0) = 6.74%

Weighted avergae = 7.01%

After tax cost = 7.01%*(1-30%) =4.907%

Now we can calclate the weighted average copst which would be 6.67%
