Answer #1

Current Market Of Stock:

pE = D1/(rE - g) = [$2.5 x 1.04] / [0.11 - 0.04] = $2.6 / 0.07 = $37.14

Market Value of Equity = [Current Market Price x No. of stocks outstanding] + Retained Earnings

= [$37.14 x 2,000,000] + $10,000,000 = $74,285,714.29 + $10,000,000 = $84,285,714.29

To find the current market price of the bond, we need to put the following values in the financial calculator:

INPUT 16 7 10*1,000=100 1,000
TVM N I/Y PV PMT FV
OUTPUT -1,283.40

So, Market Value of Debt = [Current Market Price x No. of bonds outstanding]

= $1,283.40 x 40,000 = $51,335,978.32

Total Market Value = $84,285,714.29 + $51,335,978.32 = $135,621,692.60

wD = Market Value of Debt / Total Market Value = $51,335,978.32 / $135,621,692.60 = 37.85%

wE = Market Value of Equity / Total Market Value = $84,285,714.29 / $135,621,692.60 = 62.15%

WACC = [wD x kD x (1 - t)] + [wE x kE] = [0.3785 x 7% x (1 - 0.30)] + [0.6215 x 11%] = 2.65% + 6.84% = 9.49%
