Textbook Question
Chapter 13, Problem 6CQ
Cost of Capital Suppose Tom O’Bedlam, president of Bedlam Products, Inc., has hired you to determine the firm’s cost of debt and
- a. The stock currently sells for $50 per share, and the dividend per share will probably be about $5. Tom argues, “It will cost us $5 per share to use the stockholders’ money this year, so the cost of equity is equal to 10 percent (=$5/$50).” What's wrong with this conclusion?
- b. Based on the most recent financial statements, Bedlam Products’ total liabilities are $8 million. Total interest expense for the coming year will be about $1 million. Tom therefore reasons, “We owe $8 million, and we will pay $1 million interest. Therefore, our cost of debt is obviously $1 million/$8 million = 12.5 percent.” What’s wrong with this conclusion?
- c. Based on his own analysis, Tom is recommending that the company increase its use of equity financing because, “debt costs 12.5 percent, but equity only costs 10 percent; thus equity is cheaper.” Ignoring all the other issues, what do you think about the conclusion that the cost of equity is less than the cost of debt?

Two building owners - Alice and Bob - each own a building worth $1,000,000. They are considering forming a mutual insurance pool. Based on historical data, there are three possible fire damage scenarios for each building in a given year:
No damage: 85% probability
Partial damage: 12% probability, with repair costs of $200,000
Total loss: 3% probability, with a cost of $1,000,000
Calculate the standard deviation of the loss of each owner with pooling (2 buildings together)
