Suppose the Schoof Company has this book value balance sheet: The notes payable are to banks, and the interest rate on this debt is 10%, the same as the rate on new bank loans. These bank loans are not used for seasonal financing but instead are part of the companys permanent capital structure. The long-term debt consists of 30,000 bonds, each with a par value of 1,000, an annual coupon interest rate of 6%, and a 20-year maturity. The going rate of interest on new long-term debt, rd, is 10%, and this is the present yield to maturity on the bonds. The common stock sells at a price of 60 per share. Calculate the firms market value capital structure.

You are analyzing the cost of debt for a firm. You know that the firm’s 14-year maturity, 8.2 percent coupon bonds are selling at a price of $790.40. The bonds pay interest semiannually. If these bonds are the only debt outstanding for the firm, answer the following questions - What is the after-tax cost of debt for this firm if it has a 30 percent marginal and average tax rate?
Consider a firm whose debt has a market value of $35 million and whose stock has a market value of $55 million. The firm pays a 7 percent rate of interest on its new debt and as a beta of 1.23. The corporate tax rate is 21%. Assume that the security market line holds, that the risk premium on the market is 10.5 percent, and that the current Treasury bill is rate is 1 percent. Using the answers from Questions 7 and 8, what is the firm’s WACC?

The company you work for wants you to estimate the company’s WACC; but before you do so, you need to estimate the cost of debt and equity. You have obtained the following info. 1) the firms non-callable bonds mature in 20 years, have an 8.00% annual coupon, a par value of $1,000 and a market price of $1,225.00. 2) thecompany’s tax rate is 40%. 3) the risk-free rate is 4.50%, the market risk premium 5.50%, and the stocks betta is 1.20. 4) the target capital structure consists of 35% debt and the balance common equity. The firm uses the CAPM to estimate the cost of equity, and it does not expect to issue any new common stock. Calculate the company’s cost of retained earnings using the CAPM approach.
