In case of a strong economy, the FCF from operations at year 1 will be $2,800. In case of a weak economy, the FCF at year 1 will be $1,800. Both scenarios are equally likely to happen. The risk-free rate is 3% and the equity risk premium is 12% per year. Under these circumstances, if the cost of levered equity is 28%, how much debt financing does the firm use? $1,070 $960 $1,110 $1,000 O $1,040arrow_forward
- The after-tax cost of debt of Company XYZ Ltd is 4.5%. The systematic risk of its equity is twice the market. The risk-free interest rate is 5% per annum. Rate of return on market portfolio is 7% (assume franking premium = 0). 35% of the firm’s funding comes from debt and the rest comes from equity. Compute the cost of capital of this company.arrow_forwardCorcovado Pharmaceuticals. Corcovado Pharmaceutical’s cost of debt is 7%. The risk-free rate of interest is 3%. The expected return on the market portfolio is 8%. After effective taxes, Corcovado’s effective tax rate is 25%. Its optimal capital structure is 60% debt and 40% equity. If Corcovado’s beta is estimated at 1.1, what is its weighted average cost of capital? If Corcovado’s beta is estimated at 0.8, significantly lower because of the continuing profit prospects in the global pharma sector, what is its weighted average cost of capital?arrow_forwardSimon Software Co. is trying to estimate its optimal capital structure. Right now, Simon has a capital structure that consists of 20 percent debt and 80 percent equity, based on market values. (Its D/S ratio is 0.25.) The risk-free rate is 6 percent and the market risk premium, rM - rRF, is 5 percent. Currently the company's cost of equity, which is based on the CAPM, is 12 percent and its tax rate is 40 percent. Find the new levered beta given the new capital structure (if it were to change its capital structure to 50 percent debt and 50 percent equity) using the Hamada equation.
