- Dillon Labs has asked its financial manager to measure the cost of each specific type of capital as well as the weighted average cost of capital. The weighted average cost is to be measured by using the following weights: 30% long-term debt, 10% preferred stock, and 60% common stock equity (retained earnings, new common stock, or both). The firm's tax rate is 23%. Debt : The firm can sell for $1030 a 14-year, $1,000-par-value bond paying annual interest at a 8.00% coupon rate. A flotation cost of 2% of the par value is required. Preferred stock: 9.00% (annual dividend) preferred stock having a par value of $100 can be sold for $92.An additional fee of $2 per share must be paid to the underwriters. Common stock: The firm's common stock is currently selling for $90 per share. The stock has paid a dividend that has gradually increased for many years, rising from $2.00 ten years ago to the $3.26 dividend payment, D0, that the company just recently made.…arrow_forwardAs the general manager of a firm, you are presented with an investment proposal from one of your divisions. Its net present value, if discounted at the cost of capital for your firm (which is 15 percent), is $ 1 00,000, and its internal rate of return is 20 percent. (a) What are the economic interpretations of the net present value and internal rate of return figures? In other words, what do they mean? (b) What, if any, additional information would you like to have before approving the project?arrow_forwardYour PE firm is considering acquiring a publicly traded digital advertising company, Star Dust Enterprises (SDE). The following are some key statistics of the stock of SDE today (t = 0). SDE is 100% equity financed. Its cost of capital (apply this to all cash flows) is 11.2% and the payout ratio is 79%. Expected earnings per share of SDE at next year (t = 1) are $6.6. Assume that without new investments, expected earnings of SDE would remain at their time-1 level in perpetuity. All future investments are expected to generate $0.2 in incremental earnings for each $1 of investment. For an investment made at time t, incremental cash flows are generated starting in year t + 1. (a) Compute expected dividend per share of SDE next year (t = 1): $ (b) Compute expected dividend per share of SDE two years from now (t = 2): $ (c) What is the present value of growth opportunities (PVGO) of SDE today? $arrow_forward
- You were recently hired by Scheuer Media Inc. to estimate its cost of capital. You obtained the following data: D 1 = $2.65; P 0 = $50.00; g = 6.00% (constant); and F = 4.00%. What is the cost of equity raised by selling new common stock?arrow_forwardConsider the setting of Problem 18. You decided to look for other comparables to reduce estimation error in your cost of capital estimate. You find a second firm, Thurbinar Design, which is also engaged in a similar line of business. Thurbinar has a stock price of $20 per share, with 15 million shares outstanding. It also has $100 million in outstanding debt, with a yield on the debt of 4.5%. Thurbinar’s equity beta is 1.00. (1) Assume Thurbinar’s debt has a beta of zero. Estimate Thurbinar’s unlevered beta. Use the unlevered beta and the CAPM to estimate Thurbinar’s unlevered cost of capital. (2) Estimate Thurbinar’s equity cost of capital using the CAPM. Then assume its debt cost of capital equals its yield, and using these results, estimate Thurbinar’s unlevered cost of capital. (3) Explain the difference between your estimates in part (1) and part (2). (4) You decide to average your results in part (1) and part (2), and then average this result with your estimate from Problem 18.…arrow_forwardAn investor is considering starting a new business. The company would require $475,000 of assets, and itwould be financed entirely with common stock. The investor will go forward only if she thinks the firm can provide a 13.5% return on the invested capital, which means that the firm must have an ROE of 13.5%. How much net income must be expected to warrant starting the business? Please show work in excelarrow_forward
- Case 2: Cost of capital. a. Bellevue is a hotel company. It currently has a total enterprise value of 500, debt outstanding for 200, on which it pays cost of debt equal to 5%. You have also estimated that its beta of equity is 0.8, and the company faces a corporate tax of 25%. The risk-free rate you observe in the market is 3%, and you estimate the equity risk premium to be 6%. What is Bellevue Wacc? b. Suppose that Bellevue wants to expand its activity by taking over a restaurant company. You find three companies in the restaurant industry (Eatout, Goodfood and Dinein) that are listed in a stock exchange, so that you can gather relevant financial information. Bellevue is planning to fund the acquisition with the same capital structure of its main hotel business (i.e.: D/EV=40%). Assuming that the corporate tax is 25%, the risk free rate is 3% and the equity risk premium is 6%, calculate the WACC that Bellevue should use for analyzing its planned investment in the restaurant industry.…arrow_forwardYou were recently hired by Scheuer Media Inc. to estimate its cost of capital.
