- The cost of equity of a certain company is calculated based on CAPM (risk free rate 1.75%, market premium 6%, beta 1,1), the nominal cost of a long-term loan amounts to 6%,the nominal cost of capital raised from the issue of bonds amounts to 5.5%. Interest on the bonds is paid twice a year, the loan in contrast is repaid on quarterly basis. We also know that the market value of the share capital equals 1000, the nominal value of shares (appearing in the balance sheet as equity) amounts to 800, the nominal value of the long-term credit: 600, the nominal value of the issued bonds: 300. a. On the basis of the available data please, estimate the cost of equity. b.
