Calculate the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) for McCormick and Company using the formula WACC = (WD x RD x (1-T)) + (WS x Rs)
Note that --
Rs = the cost of equity
Rd = the cost of debt
T = the tax rate
WD = Value of debt / (Value of debt plus value of equity)
WS = Value of equity / (Value of debt plus value of equity) **Note that the weight of debt plus the weight of equity must total to 100%, as there are only two components in the capital structure.**
In order to estimate the weights of debt and equity in the total capital structure, the CFO suggests using the book value of debt and the market value of equity. To determine the book value of debt, use data from the year end November 2019 McCormick 10-K. Look on the Balance sheet and add the following -- Short term borrowings, Current portion of long term debt, and Long term debt. To determine the market value of equity, use the following data: On March 17, 2020 the market value of equity (or "Market Cap")…
Refer to the income statements in requirement 1 above. For both current operations and the proposed new operations, compute (a) the degree of operating leverage, (b) the break-even point in dollars, and (c) the margin of safety in both dollar and percentage terms.
Calculate:
(i) The Annual Interest as part of the leverage analysis.
(ii) The industry averages for firms similar to ARG Inc.
