- In order to calculate a WACC, you first must know the firm's cost of debt and equity. For debt, a firm can issue new bonds with a 4.05% coupon rate and a maturity of 25 years. Interest is paid semi-annually. The market price of the new issue would be $1,146.01 less a 4% of par flotation cost. The face value of the bond, payable at maturity, is $1,000.

Part B: (Right Side) KIMCHI CORPORATION also has bonds with 5 years left to maturity with an annual coupon of 10%. What would be the yield to maturity at a current market price of $850?
