1, Chipotle's last dividend was $1.00 per share, and the dividend is expected to grow at 10 percent indefinitely. The stock currently sells for $55 per share. What is Chipotle's cost of equity capital?
3, IBM Corporation has a preferred stock outstanding priced at $150 per share. If investors demand a 10 percent return on investments such as this, what is the annual dividend on the preferred stock?
2, 3M Corporation has a cost of equity of 12 percent and a pre-tax cost of debt of 8 percent. The firm's tax rate is 25 percent. Calculate 3M's weighted-average cost of capital (WACC) if the firm has a target debt-equity ratio of 50 percent.
Part 1:
Ke = [ D1 / P0 ] + g
P0 - Price Today
D1 - Expected Div after 1 Year
D0 - Just paid div
g - Growth rate
D1 = D0 ( 1+g )
= $ 1 ( 1 + 0.10 )
= $ 1 * 1.1
= $ 1.1
Ke = [ D1 / P0 ] + g
= [ 1.1 / 55 ] +0.10
= 0.02 + 0.10
= 0.12 i.e 12%
Part 2:
WACC = [ We * Ke ] + [ Wd * Kd ]
We - weight in Equity
Ke - Cost of equity
Wd - Weight in debt
Kd - COst of debt after Tax
Kd = Cost of Debt ( 1 - Tax Rate )
= 8% ( 1 - 0.25 )
= 8% * 0.75
= 6%
Source | Weight | Cost | Wtd Cost |
Equity | 0.5 | 12% | 6.00% |
Debt | 0.5 | 6% | 3.00% |
WACC | 9.00% |
Part 3:
Annual Div = Price * Rquired Rate
= $ 150 * 10%
= $ 15
