Question

Herbo is a pharmaceutical company that is eyeing expansion. The entire decision on expansion is dependant on the accurate estimation of WACC. Using the supporting numbers/information below find Herbos; WACC, Cost of Equity, Cost of debt.

-The Initial cost of expansion is around 6.5 million. which would cover capex and working capital. Projected cash flows are below. Sales are expected to grow by 15% for the first five years and 10% for another five. Beyond the forecasted period there is an assumed perpetual growth rate of 5%. The project was planned to be financed by 80% equity and 20% debt. At this time Herbo had almost no debt

- To find WACC you need to estimate the cost of debt and equity. To find WACC you will need Beta. As Herbo is an unlisted company you can estimate the beta based on comparable firms numbers found in the numbers below. How does Capital Structure affect WACC? Perform a sensitivity analysis for WACC based on capital structure.

- The most viable source of debt financing for Herbo was bank loans. The RBI has set the latest lending rate at 8.58 per cent. Herbo can also borrow money from a friend/family member they could negotiate a better rate with a 2% premium on top of the 5.9 repurchase agreement set by the RBI. This would result in a cost of debt of 7.9%. The tax rate for Herbo and all comparable firms is projected to be approximately 30% in the coming years.

Should Herbo expand?
