PLEASE DO NOT SOLVE WİTH EXCELL CHART proffesor do not accept
Cost of Debt is same as YTM of bond
Since bond is sold at par hence YTM and Coupon Rate are Same
Cost of Debt =9.5%
Value of Debt = 120 million
Cost of equity using CAPM model = Risk Free Rate + Beta * Market
risk Premium = 4% + 1.5*8% =16%
Value of Equity =Price*Number of Shares = 50*7 = 350
Total Value of firm =Value of debt + value of equity =120+350 =
470
WACC = Weight of Equity * Cost of Equity + weight of Debt* Cost of
Debt*(1-Tax rate) =350/470*16%+120/470*9.5%*(1-25%) =13.73%
Hence WACC = 13.73%
