© Tata McGraw-Hill Publishing Company Limited, Financial Management 11-2 Measurement of Specific Costs There are four types of specific costs 1)Cost of Debt 2)Cost of Preference Shares 3)Cost of Equity Capital 4)Cost of Retained Earnings

© Tata McGraw-Hill Publishing Company Limited, Financial Management 11-3 Cost of Debt Cost of debt is the after tax cost of long-term funds through borrowing. The debt carries a certain rate of interest. Interest qualifies for tax deduction in determining tax liability. Therefore, the effective cost of debt is less than the actual interest payment made by the firm by the amount of tax shield it provides. The debt can be either 1)Perpetual/ irredeemable Debt 2)Redeemable Debt

© Tata McGraw-Hill Publishing Company Limited, Financial Management 11-4 Perpetual Debt In the case of perpetual debt, it is computed dividing effective interest payment, i.e., I (1 – t) by the amount of debt/sale proceeds of debentures or bonds (SV). Symbolically k i = Before-tax cost of debt k d = Tax-adjusted cost of debt I = Annual interest payment SV = Sale proceeds of the bond/debenture t = Tax rate

© Tata McGraw-Hill Publishing Company Limited, Financial Management 11-5 Solution (i)Debt issued at par Before-tax cost, k i = (Rs 10,000 / Rs 1,00,000) = 10 per cent After-tax cost, k d = k i (1 – t) = 10% (1 – 0.35) = 6.5 per cent (ii)Issued at discount Before-tax cost, k i = (Rs 10,000 / Rs 90,000) = per cent After-tax cost, k d = 11.11% (1 – 0.35) = 7.22 per cent (iii)Issued at premium Before-tax cost, k i = (Rs 10,000 / Rs 1,10,000) = 9.09 per cent After-tax cost, k d = 9.09% (1 – 0.35) = 5.91 per cent Example 1 A company has 10 per cent perpetual debt of Rs 1,00,000. The tax rate is 35 per cent. Determine the cost of capital (before tax as well as after tax) assuming the debt is issued at (i) par, (ii) 10 per cent discount, and (iii) 10 per cent premium.

© Tata McGraw-Hill Publishing Company Limited, Financial Management 11-6 Redeemable Debt In the case of redeemable debt, the repayment of debt principal (COP) either in instalments or in lump sum (besides interest, COI) is also taken into account. k d is computed based on the following equations: where CI 0 = Net cash proceeds from issue of debentures or from raising debt COI 1 + COI COI n = Cash outflow on interest payments in time period 1,2 and so on up to the year of maturity after adjusting tax savings on interest payment. COP n = Principal repayment in the year of maturityk d = Cost of debt. The cost of debt is generally the lowest among all sources partly because the risk involved is low but mainly because interest paid on debt is tax deductible.

© Tata McGraw-Hill Publishing Company Limited, Financial Management 11-7 Example 2 A company issues a new 10 per cent debentures of Rs 1,000 face value to be redeemed after 10 years The debenture is expected to be sold at 5 per cent discount. It will also involve floatation costs of 5 per cent of face value. The company’s tax rate is 35 per cent. What would the cost of debt be? Illustrate the computations using shortcut method.

© Tata McGraw-Hill Publishing Company Limited, Financial Management 11-8 (2) Shortcut Method The formula for approximating the effective cost of debt can, as a shortcut, be shown in the Equation whereI= Annual interest payment RV= Redeemable value of debentures/debt SV= Net sales proceeds from the issue of debenture/debt (face value of debt minus issue expenses) N m = Term of debt f= Flotation cost d= Discount on issue of debentures pi= Premium on issue of debentures pr= Premium on redemption of debentures t= Tax rate

© Tata McGraw-Hill Publishing Company Limited, Financial Management 11-9 Example 3 A company has issued 10 per cent debentures aggregating Rs 1,00,000. The flotation cost is 4 per cent. The company has agreed to repay the debentures at par in 5 equal annual instalments starting at the end of year 1. The company’s rate of tax is 35 per cent. Find the cost of debt.a Solution Net proceeds from the sale of debenture = Rs 96,000. Since the cash outflows are higher in the initial years than the average (Rs 24,500), let us try to determine PV at 7 per cent and 8 per cent.

However, unlike interest payment on debt, dividend payable on preference shares is not tax deductible from the point of view assessing tax liability. n Irredeemable Preference Shares n Redeemable Preference Shares

© Tata McGraw-Hill Publishing Company Limited, Financial Management Irredeemable Preference Shares The cost of preference shares in the case of irredeemable preference shares is based on dividends payable on them and the sale proceeds obtained by issuing such preference shares, P 0 (1 – f ). In terms of equation: wherek p = Cost of preference capital D p = Constant annual dividend payment P 0 = Expected sales price of preference shares f = Flotation costs as a percentage of sales price D t = Tax on preference dividend

© Tata McGraw-Hill Publishing Company Limited, Financial Management Example 4 A company issues 11 per cent irredeemable preference shares of the face value of Rs 100 each. Flotation costs are estimated at 5 per cent of the expected sale price. (a) What is the k p, if preference shares are issued at (i) par value, (ii) 10 per cent premium, and (iii) 5 per cent discount? (b) Also, compute k p in these situations assuming per cent dividend tax Solution

© Tata McGraw-Hill Publishing Company Limited, Financial Management Redeemable Preference Shares The cost of redeemable preference shares requiring lump sum repayment (P) is determined on the basis of the following equation: where P 0 = Expected sale price of preference shares f = Floatation cost as percentage of P 0 D p = Dividends paid on preference shares P n = Repayment of preference capital amount

© Tata McGraw-Hill Publishing Company Limited, Financial Management The computation of cost of equity capital (k e ) is conceptually more difficult as the return to the equity- holders solely depends upon the discretion of the company management. It is defined as the minimum rate of return that a corporate must earn on the equity-financed portion of an investment project in order to leave unchanged the market price of the shares. There are two approaches to measure k e : 1) Dividend Valuation Model Approach 2) Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) Approach. Cost of Equity Capital

© Tata McGraw-Hill Publishing Company Limited, Financial Management As per the dividend approach, cost of equity capital is defined as the discount rate that equates the present value of all expected future dividends per share with the net proceeds of the sale (or the current market price) of a share. The cost of equity capital can be measured with the following equations: (A) When dividends are expected to grow at a uniform rate perpetually: whereD 1 = Expected dividend per share P 0 = Net proceeds per share/current market price g = Growth in expected dividends Dividend Valuation Approach

© Tata McGraw-Hill Publishing Company Limited, Financial Management Example 6 Suppose that dividend per share of a firm is expected to be Re 1 per share next year and is expected to grow at 6 per cent per year perpetually. Determine the cost of equity capital, assuming the market price per share is Rs 25. Solution: This is a case of constant growth of expected dividends. The k e can be calculated by using Equation The dividend approach can be used to determine the expected market value of a share in different years. The expected value of a share of the hypothetical firm in Example 6 at the end of years 1 and 2 would be as follows

© Tata McGraw-Hill Publishing Company Limited, Financial Management Example 7 From the undermentioned facts determine the cost of equity shares of company X: (i)Current market price of a share = Rs 150. (ii)Cost of floatation per share on new shares, Rs 3. (iii)Dividend paid on the outstanding shares over the past five years: YearDividend per share Rs (iv)Assume a fixed dividend pay out ratio. (v)Expected dividend on the new shares at the end of the current year is Rs per share.

© Tata McGraw-Hill Publishing Company Limited, Financial Management Solution As a first step, we have to estimate the growth rate in dividends. Using the compound interest table (Table A-1), the annual growth rate of dividends would be approximately 5 per cent. (During the five years the dividends have increased from Rs to Rs 13.40, giving a compound factor of 1.276, that is, Rs 13.40/Rs The sum of Re 1 would accumulate to Rs in five 5 per cent interest).

© Tata McGraw-Hill Publishing Company Limited, Financial Management CAPITAL ASSET PRICING MODEL (CAPM) APPROACH The CAPM describes the relationship between the required rate of return or the cost of equity capital and the non-diversifiable or relevant risk of the firm as reflected in its index of non-diversifiable risk, that is, beta. Symbolically, K e = R f + b (K m – R f )(14) R f = Required rate of return on risk-free investment b = Beta coefficient**, and K m = Required rate of return on market portfolio, that is, the average rate or return on all assets M = Excess in market return over risk-free rate, J = Excess in security returns over risk-free rate, MJ = Cross product of M and J and N = Number of years

© Tata McGraw-Hill Publishing Company Limited, Financial Management Example 8 The Hypothetical Ltd wishes to calculate its cost of equity capital using the capital asset pricing model approach. From the information provided to the firm by its investment advisors along with the firms’ own analysis, it is found that the risk-free rate of return equals 10 per cent; the firm’s beta equals 1.50 and the return on the market portfolio equals 12.5 per cent. Compute the cost of equity capital. Solution K e = 10% + [1.5 × (12.5% – 10%)] = per cent

© Tata McGraw-Hill Publishing Company Limited, Financial Management Cost of Retained Earnings The cost of retained earning (k r ) is equally difficult to calculate in theoretical terms. Since retained earnings essentially involves use of funds, it is associated with an opportunity/implicit cost. The alternative to retained earnings is the investment of the funds by the firm itself in a homogeneous outside investment. Therefore, k r is equal to k e. However, it might be slightly lower than k e in the case of new equity issue due to flotation costs.

© Tata McGraw-Hill Publishing Company Limited, Financial Management Computation of Overall Cost of Capital Weighted Average Cost of Capital Weighted average cost of capital is the expected average future cost of funds over the long run found by weighting the cost of each specific type of capital by its proportion in the firm;s capital structure. Assignment of Weights The aspects relevant to the selection of appropriate weights are: 1)Historical weights a)Book value weights or b)Market value weights 2)Marginal Weights

© Tata McGraw-Hill Publishing Company Limited, Financial Management Historical Weights Historic weights either book or market value weights are based on actual capital structure proportion to calculate weights. Market Value Weights Market value weights use market values to measure the proportion of each type of capital to calculate weighted average cost of capital. Book Value Weights Book value weights use accounting (book) values to measure the proportion of each type of capital to calculate the weighted average cost of capital Marginal Weights Marginal weights use proportion of each type of capital to the total capital to be raised.
