(Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 4 decimal places, e.g., 32.1616.) Market value 3tait Debt Preferred stock b. If the company is evaluating a new investment project that has the same risk as the firm's typical project, what rate should the firm use to discount the project's cash flows? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) Discount rate

Explanation / Answer

value of equity = 9.6 million * 44 = 422400000 = 422.4 million

value of debt = 210000 * 1000 * 115% = 241500000 = 241.5 million

value of preferred stock = 400000 * 94 = 37600000 = 37.6 million

total value = 422400000 + 241500000 + 37600000

= 701.5 million

weight of equity = 422.4/701.5 = 0.6021

weight of debt = 241.5/701.5 = 0.3443

weight of preferred stock = 37.6/701.5 = 0.0536

cost of equity = 4 + 1.3 * 8.4% = 14.92%

1150 = 84/2 * [1-(1+YTM/2)^-40]/YTM/2 + 1000/(1+YTM/2)^40

=>

YTM = 7%

after tax cost of debt = 7% * (1-0.4) = 4.2%

cost of preferred stock = 6/94 = 6.38%

weighted average cost of capital

= weight of debt * cost of debt + weight of preferred stock * cost of preferred stock + weight of equity * cost of equity

= 0.6021 * 14.92% + 0.3443 * 4.2% + 0.0536 * 6.38%

= 10.77%
