15-2 Overall Cost of Capital of the Firm Cost of Capital is the required rate of return on the various types of financing. The overall cost of capital is a weighted average of the individual required rates of return (costs).

15-3 Type of Financing Mkt ValWeight Long-Term Debt $ 35M 35% Preferred Stock$ 15M 15% Common Stock Equity $ 50M 50% $ 100M 100% Market Value of Long-Term Financing

15-4 Cost of Debt Cost of Debt is the required rate of return on investment of the lenders of a company. k i = k d ( 1 - T ) Cost of Debt P 0 = I j + P j (1 + k d ) j  n j =1

15-5 Assume that Basket Wonders (BW) has $1,000 par value zero-coupon bonds outstanding. BW bonds are currently trading at $ with 10 years to maturity. BW tax bracket is 40%. Determination of the Cost of Debt $ = $0 + $1,000 (1 + k d ) 10

15-6 (1 + k d ) 10 = $1,000 / $ = (1 + k d )= (2.5938) (1/10) = 1.1 k d =.1 or 10% k i = 10% ( ) k i 6% k i = 6% Determination of the Cost of Debt

15-7 Cost of Preferred Stock Cost of Preferred Stock is the required rate of return on investment of the preferred shareholders of the company. k P = D P / P 0 Cost of Preferred Stock

15-8 Assume that Basket Wonders (BW) has preferred stock outstanding with par value of $100, dividend per share of $6.30, and a current market value of $70 per share. k P = $6.30 / $70 k P 9% k P = 9% Determination of the Cost of Preferred Stock

15-9 u Dividend Discount Model u Capital-Asset Pricing Model u Before-Tax Cost of Debt plus Risk Premium Cost of Equity Approaches

15-10 Dividend Discount Model cost of equity capital The cost of equity capital, k e, is the discount rate that equates the present value of all expected future dividends with the current market price of the stock. D 1 D 2 D (1+k e ) 1 (1+k e ) 2 (1+k e ) P 0 =  

15-11 Constant Growth Model constant dividend growth assumption The constant dividend growth assumption reduces the model to: k e = ( D 1 / P 0 ) + g Assumes that dividends will grow at the constant rate “g” forever.

15-12 Assume that Basket Wonders (BW) has common stock outstanding with a current market value of $64.80 per share, current dividend of $3 per share, and a dividend growth rate of 8% forever. k e = ( D 1 / P 0 ) + g k e = ($3(1.08) / $64.80) +.08 k e.1313% k e = =.13 or 13% Determination of the Cost of Equity Capital

15-13 Capital Asset Pricing Model The cost of equity capital, k e, is equated to the required rate of return in market equilibrium. The risk-return relationship is described by the Security Market Line (SML). k e = R j = R f + (R m - R f )  j

15-14 Assume that Basket Wonders (BW) has a company beta of Research by Julie Miller suggests that the risk-free rate is 4% and the expected return on the market is 11.2% k e = R f + (R m - R f )  j = 4% + (11.2% - 4%)1.25 k e 13% k e = 4% + 9% = 13% Determination of the Cost of Equity (CAPM)

15-15 Before-Tax Cost of Debt Plus Risk Premium The cost of equity capital, k e, is the sum of the before-tax cost of debt and a risk premium in expected return for common stock over debt. k e = k d + Risk Premium* * Risk premium is not the same as CAPM risk premium

15-16 Assume that Basket Wonders (BW) typically adds a 3% premium to the before-tax cost of debt. k e = k d + Risk Premium = 10% + 3% k e 13% k e = 13% Determination of the Cost of Equity (k d + R.P.)

15-21 u A measure of business performance. u It is another way of measuring that firms are earning returns on their invested capital that exceed their cost of capital. u Specific measure developed by Stern Stewart and Company in late 1980s. Economic Value Added

15-22 EVA = NOPAT – [Cost of Capital x Capital Employed] u Since a cost is charged for equity capital also, a positive EVA generally indicates shareholder value is being created. u Based on Economic NOT Accounting Profit. u NOPAT – net operating profit after tax is a company’s potential after-tax profit if it was all- equity-financed or “unlevered.” Economic Value Added

15-23 Add Flotation Costs (FC) to the Initial Cash Outlay (ICO). Reduces Impact: Reduces the NPV Adjustment to Initial Outlay (AIO) NPV =  n t=1 CF t (1 + k) t - ( ICO + FC )

15-24 Subtract Flotation Costs from the proceeds (price) of the security and recalculate yield figures. Increases Impact: Increases the cost for any capital component with flotation costs. decreases Result: Increases the WACC, which decreases the NPV. Adjustment to Discount Rate (ADR)
