Explanation / Answer

a) Value of UAC = EBIT x (1 - tax) / Cost of equity

= 200 x (1 - 40%) / 7%

= $1,714

b) Price per share = 1,714 / 1300 = $1.32

c) Face Value of bond = 1.32 x 20% x 1,300 = $343

d) Value of the company = Vu + D x tax = 1,714 + 343 x 40% = 1,851

e) Value of equity = 1,851 - 343 = 1,509

Stock Price = 1,509 / (1,300 x 80%) = $1.45

f) Required return = ru + D/E x (ru - rd) = 7% + 343/1509 x (7% - 2%) = 8.14%

g) WACC = wd x kd x (1 - tax) + we x ke

= 343 / 1851 x 2% x (1 - 40%) + 1509 / 1851 x 8.14%

= 6.85%
