Company Y has a target debt to equity ratio of 50%. Currently its book debt to equity ratio is 60% and it expects to revert to the target ratio very soon. The company has an after-tax market cost of debt of 9% and a market cost of equity of 20%. What is the WACC for the company? a. 14.33% b. 13.50% c. 12.33% d. 16.51%

You have the following data for your company. Market Value of Equity: $520 Book Value of Debt: $130 Required rate of return on equity: 12% Required rate of return on debt (pre-tax): 7% Corporate tax rate: 25% The company's debt is assumed to be is reasonably safe, so the book value of debt is a reasonably approximation for the market value of debt.   What is the weighted average cost of capital for this company?

A firm has an expected return on equity of 16% and an after-tax cost of debt of 8%. What debt-equity ratio should be used in order to keep the WACC at 12%? 0.75:1 1.50:1 O 1:1 0.50:1

Calculate the WACC using the following information: Debt-Equity ratio is 50%. Cost of debt is 8.00% Cost of equity is 10.00% Company pays tax at 35% a) 7.60%                                                        b) 8.40%                                                        c) 9.33%                                                         d) 9.00%

You have the following information on a company on which to base your calculations and discussion: Cost of equity capital (rE) = 18.55% Cost of debt (rD) = 7.85% Expected market premium (rM –rF) = 8.35% Risk-free rate (rF) = 5.95% Inflation = 0% Corporate tax rate (TC) = 35% Current long-term and target debt-equity ratio (D:E) = 2:5 a.   What are the equity beta (bE) and debt beta (bD) of the firm described above?[Hint: Assume that the above costs of capital have been generated by an appropriate equilibrium model.] b.  What is the weighted-average cost of capital (WACC) for this firm at the current debt-equity ratio? c.   What would the company’s cost of equity capital become if you unlevered the capital structure (i.e. reduced gearing until there is no debt)

The DENC Corporation has the unlevered cost equity of 10%. The company wants to expand its operation by issuing new debt. If the cost of debt for the company is 6% and the corporate tax rate is 30%. What must be the debt-equity ratio of the company if the targeted cost of equity is 12%? Calculate the debt-equity (D/E) ratio. (A) The debt-equity (D/E) ratio is 0.50 (B) The debt-equity (D/E) ratio is 0.60 (C) The debt-equity (D/E) ratio is 2.80 (D) The debt-equity (DE) ratio is 0.71

What is the WACC for the following company with: Debt rate: 7% Cost of Equity: 11% Percentage equity: 50% Percentage debt: 50% Tax rate: 35%

Harmony Sego has a tax rate of 21%, the interest rate on debt is 10%, and the WACC is 15%. If the debt ratio is 60% (i.e., the weight on debt), what is the expected rate of return to equity holders? O 12.50% O 22.50% O 25.65% O 21.25%

A company has a WACC of 10%. It can borrow at 4%. Assume that the company has a target capital structure of 60% equity, 40% debt. The corporate tax rate is 20%. Based on MM Theory with taxes, what is the cost of equity? What is the WACC?

Suppose Essen Corp has the following weights and costs. What is the WACC if the company has a 21% tax rate? Component Common equity Debt (before tax) R 11.5% 0.8 0.2 7.5% 10.39% ()8.71% ()6.25% 9.50% 10.70% Page 29 of 30 Previous Page Next Page
