Starlight Corporation has accounts payable of $200,000 (a typical amount for the company, non-interest bearing), a bank loan of $300,000 at 8% interest rate, a bank loan of $500,000 at 7% interest rate, and equity of $1,400,000. Its income tax rate is 31%. Management estimates the company’s cost of equity is 14%.   

  1. What is the company’s weighted average cost of capital on interest bearing debt and equity?

Homework Answers

Answer #1

- Total Amount of Interest bearing bank Loan 1 = $300,000

- Total Amount of Interest bearing bank Loan 2 = $500,000

- Total equity = $1400,000

Total interest bearing debt and equity = $300,000 + $500,000 + $1400,000

= $2200,000

Calculating Weighted Average Cost of capital(WACC) on interest bearing debt and equity:-

WACC= (Weight of Bank Loan 1)(Cost of Bank Loan 1)(1-Tax Rate) + (Weight of Bank Loan 2)(Cost of Bank Loan 2)(1-Tax Rate) + (Weight of Equity)(Cost of Equity)

WACC = ($300,000/$2200,000)(8%)(1-0.31) + ($500,000/$2200,000)(7%)(1-0.31) + ($1400,000/$2200,000)(14%)

WACC= 0.7527% + 1.0977% + 8.9091%

WACC = 10.76%
