Binomial Tree Farm’s financing includes $5.10 million of bank loans and $6.10 million book (face) value of 10-year bonds, which are selling at 80% of par value. Its common equity is shown in Binomial’s Annual Report at $6.77. It has 510,000 shares of common stock outstanding which trade on the Wichita Stock Exchange at $15 per share. What debt ratio should Binomial use to calculate its WACC?
- Market Value of Bank Loan = $5.10 million
- Market Value of Bond = Book Value*80% = $6.10 million*80% = $4.88 million
- Market Value of equity = No of shares outstanding*Price per share = 510,000*$15 = $7.65 million
Total Capital Structure = Market Value of Bank Loan + Market Value of Bond + Market Value of Equity
Total Capital Structure = $5.10 million + $4.88 million + $7.65 million
Total Capital Structure = $17.63 million
- Debt ratio to be used in WACC = Total Debt/Total Capital Structure
Total Debt = Market Value of Bank Loan + Market Value of Bond = $9.98 million
Debt ratio to be used in WACC = $9.98 million/$17.63 million
Debt ratio to be used in WACC = 56.61%
