Explanation:
Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) is the cost of a firm from permanent sources of capital pooled together.
WACC = Cost of equity x Weight of equity + Cost of Debt x Weight of Debt + Cost of Preference Stock x Weight of Preference Stock
where,
Cost of equity = Return on Risk free rate + Beta x Risk Premium
= 9.00 % + 2.5 x (14.00 % - 9.00%)
= 21.50 %
Cost of debt :
similar
N = 7 x 2 = 14
p/yr = 2
pmt = ($787.22 x 8%) ÷ 2 =
fv = $787.22 x number of bonds
pv = $80,000,000
Always use the after tax cost of debt :
after tax cost of debt = interest x ( 1 - tax rate)
