FIN490 Week 3 Discussion 1

I need to calculate the cost of equity with the following data: The current appropriate risk-free rate is 6% and the return on the market is 13.5%.   levered beta is 1.29.  Using the CAPM, estimate DE’s cost of equity.  Be sure to state any additional assumptions

You have the following initial information on which to base your calculations and discussion:   Debt yield = 2.6% Required Rate of Return on Equity = 12% Expected return on S&P500 = 10% Risk-free rate (rF) = 1.5% Inflation = 2.5% Corporate tax rate (TC) = 30% Current long-term and target debt-equity ratio (D:E) = 1:3   a.  What is the unlevered cost of equity (rE*) for this firm?  Assume that the management of the firm is considering a leveraged buyout of the above company. They believe that they can gear the company to a higher level due to their ability to extract efficiencies from the firm’s operations. Thus, they wish to use a target debt-equity ratio of 3:1 in their valuation calculations. b. What would the levered cost of equity equal for this firm at a debt-equity ratio (D:E) of 3:1?  c. What would the required rate of return for the company equal if it were to be acquired under the leveraged buyout structure (i.e., what would the estimated firm WACC equal to under a…

You have the following initial information on which to base your calculations and discussion: Debt yield = 2.5% Required Rate of Return on Equity = 13% Expected return on S&P500 = 8% Risk-free rate (rF) = 1.5% Inflation = 2.5% Corporate tax rate (TC) = 30% Current long-term and target debt-equity ratio (D:E) = 1:3 a.  What is the unlevered cost of equity (rE*) for this firm?  Assume that the management of the firm is considering a leveraged buyout of the above company. They believe that they can gear the company to a higher level due to their ability to extract efficiencies from the firm’s operations. Thus, they wish to use a target debt-equity ratio of 3:1 in their valuation calculations.

You have been asked to calculate the cost of equity using the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM). The CFO estimates the Beta as 0.90. Management wants to use the 30 year bond rate as the risk free rate, arguing that Investors should make long term investments; that rate is 3% today.  The expected return on the stock market as a whole has been estimated to be 7%, 10% and 12% by various studies.  The CFO asks that you use an expected return of 9% for the average stock.  The market risk Premium (RPM) will be 6%.  9% minus 3% = 6%.    Calculate the cost of equity (Rs) using the CAPM.  The formula is  Rs  = rRF  + (RPM ) x β.   Rs  is the required return on equity or the Cost of Equity, rRF is the risk free rate, RP M is the required stock market return in excess of the risk free rate, and  β , (Beta) is the stocks relative risk.  β is also described as the estimate of the amount of risk that an individual stock contributes to a well balance portfolio.    The Discounted Cash Flow model is…

Use the following forecasted financials: (Certain cells were left intentionally blank by asker)  You may need to use the CAPM model.

Assume a long-term growth rate of 3%.         e)  Calculate Sherwin Williams value per share. The company has 263.3 million shares outstanding.

In early 2008, we estimated a beta of 1.162 for Deutsche Bank, which used in conjunction with the Euro risk-free rate of 4% (in January 2008) and an equity risk premium of 4.50%, yielded a cost of equity of 9.23%. In November 2013, the Euro risk-free rate had dropped to 1.75% and the Deutsche’s equity risk premium had risen to 6.12%.

Buy 2,000 shares of JMC on margin, borrowing at the risk-free rate. (Hint: When you borrow from the risk-free asset, its weight in your portfolio should be negative.) C. Short-sell 1,000 shares of JMC, invest the remainder in the risk free asset.
