Dillon Enterprises has the following capDillon Enterprises has the following capital structure. Debt ........................ 40% Common equity ....... 60 The after-tax cost of debt is 6 percent, and the cost of common equity (in the form of retained earnings) is 13 percent. What is the firm’s weighted average cost of capital? a. An outside consultant has suggested that because debt is cheaper than equity, the firm should switch to a capital structure that is 50 percent debt and 50 percent equity. Under this new and more debt-oriented arrangement, the after-tax cost of debt is 7 percent, and the cost of common equity (in the form of retained earnings) is 15 percent. Recalculate the firm’s weighted average cost of capital. b. Which plan is optimal in terms of minimizing the weighted average cost of capital?
Compute Ke and Kn under the following circumstances:
a. D1= $5, P0=$70, g=8%, F=$7
b. D1=$0.22, P0=$28, g=7%, F=2.50
c. E1 (earnings at the end of period one) = $7, payout ratio equals 40 percent, P0= $30, g=6%, F=$2,20. Note: D1 is the earnings times the payout rate.
d. D0 (dividend at the beginning of the first period) = $6, growth rate for dividends and earnings (g)=7%, P0=$60, F=$3. You will need to calculate D1 (the dividend after the first period).
