- You have the following information on a company on which to base your calculations and discussion: Cost of equity capital (rE) = 18.55% Cost of debt (rD) = 7.85% Expected market premium (rM –rF) = 8.35% Risk-free rate (rF) = 5.95% Inflation = 0% Corporate tax rate (TC) = 35% Current long-term and target debt-equity ratio (D:E) = 2:5 a. What are the equity beta (bE) and debt beta (bD) of the firm described above?[Hint: Assume that the above costs of capital have been generated by an appropriate equilibrium model.] b. What is the weighted-average cost of capital (WACC) for this firm at the current debt-equity ratio? c. What would the company’s cost of equity capital become if you unlevered the capital structure (i.e. reduced gearing until there is no debt)arrow_forwardDo It correctly with step by step explanation.arrow_forwardThe CFO of Lenox Industries hired you as a consultant to help estimate its cost of capital. You have obtained the following data: (1) rd = yield on the firm’s bonds = 7.00% and the risk premium over its own debt cost = 4.00%. (2) rRF = 5.00%, RPM = 6.00%, and b = 1.05. (3) D1 = $1.20, P0 = $35.00, and g = 8.00% (constant). You were asked to estimate the cost of equity based on the three most commonly used methods and then to indicate the difference between the highest and lowest of these estimates. What is that difference? 0.43% 0.49% 0.48% 0.38% 0.37%arrow_forward
