Answer 1

Question 10

Total market value of equity = 6,000,000*40 = 240,000,000

Total debt value of issue 1 =1.0223*2500*300,000 = 766,725,000

Total debt value of issue 2 = 0.9947*2500*100000 = 248,675,000

Total = 1,255,400,000

Weight of equity (We) = 240,000,000/1,255,400,000 = 0.1912

Weight of debt issue 1 (Wd1) = 766,725,000/1,255,400,000 = 0.6107

Weight of debt issue 2 (Wd2) = 1-0.19585 -0.6257 = 0.1981

Cost of Equity = rf + beta *MRP = 4 =1.1*6 = 10.6%

WACC = 0.1912*10.6 + 0.6107*6*(1-0.37) +0.1981*8*(1-0.37) = 5.33%

WACC = 5.33%
