- Which of the following statements is CORRECT? Group of answer choices When calculating the cost of preferred stock, companies must adjust for taxes, because dividends paid on preferred stock are deductible by the paying corporation. Because of tax effects, an increase in the risk-free rate will have a greater effect on the after-tax cost of debt than on the cost of common stock as measured by the CAPM. If a company's beta increases, this will increase the cost of equity used to calculate the WACC, but only if the company does not have enough reinvested earnings to take care of its equity financing and hence must issue new stock. Higher flotation costs reduce investors' expected returns, and that leads to a reduction in a company's WACC. When calculating the cost of debt, a company needs to adjust for taxes, because interest payments are deductible by the paying corporation.concatti corporation hired your consulting firm to help them estimate the cost of equity. the yeild on the firms bonds is 10.50% and your firms economist believe that the cost of equity can be estimated using a risk premium of 4.85% over a firms own cost of debt. what is an estimate of the firms cost of equity from retained earnings?The following were gathered for estimating the cost of equity of KKK Corporation: Return on Treasury Bonds = 4%; Return on the Market = 10%; Return on KKK Bonds = 6%. Upon analysis, you determined that the beta of KKK shares relating to the market return is 1.2 while a risk premium of 4% should be given to KKK's investors over its creditors. How much is the cost of equity using the capital asset pricing model?
- 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)Your colleague collects the information in Table 1. Included are D/E ratios and estimated equity betas for firms similar to the take-over tarket, the target firm's Debt-to-Firm Value ratio, the target firm's tax rate, and the average YTM and coupon payments for their outstanding debt. Using this data, find the appropriate WACC for this investment decision. Hint: Firm Value is Debt + Equity. Therefore, D/(D+E) = 0.2. Use this to solve for D/E, the target firm's leverage ratio.
