You have the followinginformation about its cost of capital:rE =__, rD = 12%, rA = __,Beta(E) = 1.5, Beta(D) =__, Beta(A) = __,rf = 10%, rm = 18%, D/V = .5Can you fill in the blanks? Suppose now that Archimedes repurchases debt and issuesequity so that D / V = .3. The reduced borrowing causes r D to fall to 11%. How do theother variables change?

- CALCULATING 3Ms COST OF CAPITAL In this chapter, we described how to estimate a companys WACC, which is the weighted average of its costs of debt, preferred stock, and common equity. Most of the data we need to do this can be found from various data sources on the Internet. Here we walk through the steps used to calculate Minnesota Mining Manufacturings (MMM) WACC. 3. Next, we need to calculate MMMs cost of debt. We can use different approaches to estimate it. One approach is to take the companys interest expense and divide it by total debt (which is the sum of short-term debt and long-term debt). This approach only works if the historical cost of debt equals the yield to maturity in todays market (i.e., if MMMs outstanding bonds are trading at close to par). This approach may produce misleading estimates in years in which MMM issues a significant amount of new debt. For example, if a company issues a great deal of debt at the end of the year, the full amount of debt will appear on the year-end balance sheet, yet we still may not see a sharp increase in annual interest expense because the debt was outstanding for only a small portion of the entire year. When this situation occurs, the estimated cost of debt will likely understate the true cost of debt. Another approach is to try to find this number in the notes to the companys annual report by accessing the companys home page and its Investor Relations section. Alternatively, you can go to other external sources, such as bondsonline.com, for corporate bond spreads, which can be used to find estimates of the cost of debt. Remember that you need the after-tax cost of debt to calculate a firms WACC, so you will need MMMs tax rate (which has averaged around 30% in recent years). What is your estimate of MMMs after-tax cost of debt?arrow_forwardA6 Paraphrase + explain this sentence: If Nikken Microsystems' opportunity cost of capital is 16.667%, it should be indifferent financially between the two alternatives.

- 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")…arrow_forwardHow did you find this amount because thourgh Excel spreeshit it gives another sum Now, let's address Rhule's concern about the cost of capital being off 300 basis points (3%): If the cost of capital is off by 300 basis points (10% -3% = 7%), we would recalculate the NPV using the new discount rate of 7% and check if the project still yields a positive NPV. NPV (at 7 %) = [( $6.77 million * ((1 - (1 + 0.07)^(- 10)) / 0.07)] - $16.5 million NPV (at 7%) = [$6.77 million * (1 - 0.508) / 0.07] - $16.5 million NPV (at 7%) = [$ 6.77 million *0.492/0.07] - $16.5 million Explanation: NPV (at 7%) = $34.6512 million - $16.5 million NPV ( at 7%) = $18.1512 million With a cost of capital of 7%, the NPV of the project is still positive at $18.1512 million. This indicates that even if the cost of capital is off by 300 basis points (3%), the project remains financially feasible and attractive.:;arrow_forward4.
