Cost of equity capital Each of the following formulas for determining shareholders’ required rate of return can be right or wrong depending on the circumstances:

  1. a. r = DIV1/P0 + 8
  2. b. r = EPS1/P0

For each formula, construct a simple numerical example showing that the formula can give wrong answers and explain why the error occurs. Then construct another simple numerical example for which the formula gives the right answer.

Which of the following is TRUE? I. Internal rate of return (IRR) is a major method for determining the cost of equity. II. The cost of capital depends on the source of the funds. Group of answer choices I and II II only Neither I nor II I only
(D/D+E)kd(1-T) + (E/D+E)k2 is also known as  Group of answer choices The required rate of equity return The required rate of debt cost The weighted average cost of capital The average cost of equity
The followings are the instructions for this case. Provide the excel file where the computations are done. GIVE ANSWERS PLEASE. I WILL UPVOTE! You have to use the following equation: WACC = Wd*Rd*(1-t)+We*Re. Where WACC stands for the Weighed average cost of capital, Wd is the weight of debt in the capital could be either market value weight or book value weight and it is calculated in the following way: Wd=D/(E+D), where D is either the book value of debt or the market value of debt, E is the book value of equity or the market value of equity. So keep in mind if you want Wd on book value basis, then both E and D must be on book value basis, if you want Wd on a market value basis, then both E and D must be on market value basis. Rd is the cost of debt (percentage cost of debt),  t is the tax rate, We is the weight of equity in the capital could be either market value weight or book value weight, We = E/(E+D), as I explained Wd, it could be either on a book value or book value basis.
