Chapter 19, Problem 9PS

WACC Nevada Hydro is 40% debt-financed and has a weighted-average cost of capital of 10.2%:

WACC = ( 1 T c ) r D D / V + r E E / V = ( 1 .21 ) ( .085 ) ( .40 ) + .125 ( .60 ) = .102

Goldensacks Company is advising Nevada Hydro to issue $75 million of preferred stock at a dividend yield of 9%. The proceeds would be used to repurchase and retire common stock. The preferred issue would account for 10% of the pre-issue market value of the firm.

Goldensacks argues that these transactions would reduce Nevada Hydro’s WACC to 9.84%:

WACC = ( 1 .21 ) ( .085 ) ( .40 ) + .09 ( .10 ) + .125 ( .50 ) = .0984 , or 9.84 %

Do you agree with this calculation? Explain.
