Consider a company with the following capital structure: The
company’s 40,000 bonds are selling at 80% of $10,000 face value per
bond, while 80 million common shares are selling at $5.50 per share
and 160,000 preferred shares are selling at $250 per share. The
company’s bonds are priced to yield 6%. Using the single-factor
model, the company’s equity beta is estimated to be 1.6. And the
company’s preferred shares are committed to pay $20 annual dividend
per share indefinitely. The T-bills return 3% annually and the
annual expected return of the S&P 500 Index is 8%. The company
is in 35% marginal tax bracket. Calculate the annual weighted
average cost of capital of this company.
