CoffeeStop primarily sells coffee. It recently introduced a premium coffee-flavored liquor (BF Liquors). Suppose the firm faces a tax rate of 25% and collects the following information. If it plans to finance 11% of the new liquor-focused division with debt and the rest with equity, what WACC should it use for its liquor division? Assume a cost of debt of 4.8%, a risk-free rate of 3.0%, and a market risk premium of 6.0%. Beta % Equity % Debt CoffeeStop 0.61 96% 4% BF Liquors 0.26 89% 11% Note: Assume that the firm will always be able to utilize its fll interest tax shield. The weighted average cost of capital is 1.28 %. (Round to two decimal places.)

Hallmark, the greeting card company, is considering going online. It is anticipated that it will cost the firm RM 1 billion to do so and that the firm will be able to use its current debt capacity to borrow 20% of this investment, at an after-tax cost of 4.5%. Hallmark has a beta of 1.1. Online retailers have a beta of 1.50 and do not carry debt. If the riskless rate is 6% and the market risk premium is 5.5% estimate the cost of capital for the online investment.

Speckle Delivery Systems can buy a piece of equipment that is anticipated to provide an 8% return and can be financed at 5% with debt. Later in the year, the company turns down an opportunity to buy a new machine that would yield a 15% return but would cost 17% to finance through common equity. Assume debt and common equity each represent 50% of the company’s capital structure. Compute the weighted average cost of capital (WACC). Which product(s) should be accepted in your opinion? Why?

Simon Software Co. is trying to estimate its optimal capital structure. Right now, Simon has a capital structure that consists of 20 percent debt and 80 percent equity, based on market values. (Its D/S ratio is 0.25.) The risk-free rate is 6 percent and the market risk premium, rM - rRF, is 5 percent. Currently the company's cost of equity, which is based on the CAPM, is 12 percent and its tax rate is 40 percent. Find the new levered beta given the new capital structure (if it were to change its capital structure to 50 percent debt and 50 percent equity) using the Hamada equation.
