Using the information from the table, and assuming that the risk-free rate is 4.5% and the market risk premium is 6.2%, calculate Day-Brite's cost of equity capital, using the capital asset pricing model: Day-Brite Interest-Bearing Debt $10,124 Average borrowing rate for debt 6.2% Common Equity: Book Value $18,120 Market Value $25,700 Marginal Income Tax Rate 32% Market Equity Beta 1.23
Cost of Equity using CAPM
=
= 4.5% + 1.23 (6.2)
= 12.126%
Equity market Value = 25700
Debt Value = 10124
Total Capital 25700 + 10124 = 35,824
WACC = (Cost of Equity * Weight of Equity) + (Cost of Debt after tax * Weight of Debt)
= (12.126% * 25700 / 35824) + (6.2%(1+0.32) * 10,124 / 35,824)
= 8.69914582402% + 1.19145779365%
= 9.89%
