cost of equity capital for each of the three companies. - b. Compute the weighted-average cost of capital for each of the three companies.
- c. Compute the unlevered market (asset) beta for each of the three companies.
- d. Assume that each company is a candidate for a potential leveraged buyout. The buyers intend to implement a capital structure that has 75% debt (with a pretax borrowing cost of 8.0%) and 25% common equity. Project the weighted-average cost of capital for each company based on the new capital structure. To what extent do these revised weighted-average costs of capital differ from those computed in Requirement b?

(Assume the $3.65 million of purchases is net of discounts—that is, gross purchases are $3,724,489.80, discounts are $74,489.80, and net purchases are $3.65 million.) Is there a cost of the trade credit the firm uses? If the firm did not take discounts but did pay on the due date, what would be its average payables and the cost of this nonfree trade credit? What would be the firm’s cost of not taking discounts if it could stretch its payments to 40 days?arrow_forwardSuppose the Fed conducts an open market sale by selling $10 million in Treasury bonds to Acme Bank.
