Debt:
Number of bonds outstanding = 18,200
Face Value = $1,000
Current Price = 107.80% * $1,000
Current Price = $1,078
Market Value of Debt = 18,200 * $1,078
Market Value of Debt = $19,619,600
Annual Coupon Rate = 6.10%
Semiannual Coupon Rate = 3.05%
Semiannual Coupon = 3.05% * $1,000
Semiannual Coupon = $30.50
Time to Maturity = 25 years
Semiannual Period to Maturity = 50
Let Semiannual YTM be i%
$1,078 = $30.50 * PVIFA(i%, 50) + $1,000 * PVIF(i%, 50)
Using financial calculator:
N = 50
PV = -1078
PMT = 30.50
FV = 1000
I = 2.760%
Semiannual YTM = 2.76%
Annual YTM = 2 * 2.76%
Annual YTM = 5.52%
Before-tax Cost of Debt = 5.52%
After-tax Cost of Debt = 5.52% * (1 - 0.22)
After-tax Cost of Debt = 4.306%
Preferred Stock:
Number of shares outstanding = 28,500
Current Price = $92.70
Annual Dividend = 4.25% * $100
Annual Dividend = $4.25
Market Value of Preferred Stock = 28,500 * $92.70
Market Value of Preferred Stock = $2,641,950
Cost of Preferred Stock = Annual Dividend / Current Price
Cost of Preferred Stock = $4.25 / $92.70
Cost of Preferred Stock = 4.585%
Common Stock:
Number of shares outstanding = 620,000
Current Price = $85.25
Market Value of Common Stock = 620,000 * $85.25
Market Value of Common Stock = $52,855,000
Cost of Common Stock = Risk-free Rate + Beta * Market Risk
Premium
Cost of Common Stock = 3.40% + 1.15 * 6.80%
Cost of Common Stock = 11.220%
Market Value of Firm = Market Value of Debt + Market Value of
Preferred Stock + Market Value of Common Stock
Market Value of Firm = $19,619,600 + $2,641,950 + $52,855,000
Market Value of Firm = $75,116,550
Weight of Debt = $19,619,600 / $75,116,550
Weight of Debt = 0.2612
Weight of Preferred Stock = $2,641,950 / $75,116,550
Weight of Preferred Stock = 0.0352
Weight of Common Stock = $52,855,000 / $75,116,550
Weight of Common Stock = 0.7036
WACC = Weight of Debt * After-tax Cost of Debt + Weight of
Preferred Stock * Cost of Preferred Stock + Weight of Common Stock
* Cost of Common Stock
WACC = 0.2612 * 4.306% + 0.0352 * 4.585% + 0.7036 * 11.220%
WACC = 9.18%
