Suppose you prefer the original capital structure with a 13% return on the common stock and a WACC of 11.88%. If you have $3,000 to invest, how much should you invest in the stock and bonds of the restructured firm (which have returns of 13.53% and 9%, respectively) to obtain the same return as an investment in the stock of the original firm?

As a first step, we need to estimate what percentage of MMMs capital comes from debt, preferred stock, and common equity. This information can be found on the firms latest annual balance sheet. (As of year end 2014, MMM had no preferred stock.) Total debt includes all interest-bearing debt and is the sum of short-term debt and long-term debt. a. Recall that the weights used in the WACC are based on the companys target capital structure. If we assume that the company wants to maintain the same mix of capital that it currently has on its balance sheet, what weights should you use to estimate the WACC for MMM? b. Find MMMs market capitalization, which is the market value of its common equity. Using the sum of its short-term debt and long-term debt from the balance sheet (we assume that the market value of its debt equals its book value) and its market capitalization, recalculate the firms debt and common equity weights to be used in the WACC equation. These weights are approximations of market-value weights. Be sure not to include accruals in the debt calculation.
A company had WACC (weighted average cost of capital) equal to 8. % If the company pays off mortgage bonds with an interest rate of 4% and issues an equal amount of new stock considered to be relatively risky by the market, which of the following is true? a. residual income will increase. b. ROI will decrease. c. WACC will increase. d. WACC will decrease.
The Rivoli Company has no debt outstanding, and its financial position is given by the following data: What is Rivoli’s intrinsic value of operations (i.e., its unlevered value)? What is its intrinsic stock price? Its earnings per share? Rivoli is considering selling bonds and simultaneously repurchasing some of its stock. If it moves to a capital structure with 30% debt based on market values, its cost of equity, rs, will increase to 12% to reflect the increased risk. Bonds can be sold at a cost, rd, of 7%. Based on the new capital structure, what is the new weighted average cost of capital? What is the levered value of the firm? What is the amount of debt? Based on the new capital structure, what is the new stock price? What is the remaining number of shares? What is the new earnings per share?
The calculation of WACC involves calculating the weighted average of the required rates of return on debt, preferred stock, and common equity, where the weights equal the percentage of each type of financing in the firm’s overall capital structure. Q1. ________is the symbol that represents the cost of preferred stock in the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) equation. Q2. Avery Co. has $3.9 million of debt, $2 million of preferred stock, and $2.2 million of common equity. What would be its weight on debt? a. 0.27 b. 0.25 c. 0.48 d. 0.20 Q1. Option 1 rS or Option 2 rD or Option 3 rP or Option 4 rE Please provide the correct answers. Thank you!
You are given the market values of CHAR's capital structure as follow: $52 million in total common equity, $20 million in debt, and $8 million in preferred stock. CHAR's tax rate is 40%. After-tax cost of debt is 7%, cost of preferred stock is 5.5%, and cost of common equity is 15%. If CHAR's book value capital structure weights are 60% common equity, 25% debt, and 15% preferred stock, what is CHAR's WACC? Show steps by steps in detail.
The calculation of WACC involves calculating the weighted average of the required rates of return on debt, preferred stock, and common equity, where the weights equal the percentage of each type of financing in the firm’s overall capital structure. (rs, rd, rp, re) is the symbol that represents the cost of raising capital by issuing new stock in the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) equation. Avery Co. has $2.7 million of debt, $1.5 million of preferred stock, and $2.2 million of common equity. What would be its weight on preferred stock? 0.23 0.21 0.42 0.18

A firm had a current market value of $3,637,500 and is comparing two different capital structures: an all-equity plan and a leveled plan. Under the all-equity structure, the company would have 1500,000 shares of stock outstanding. If the debt is taken on to buy back shares, there would be 105,000 shares of stock outstanding and $1,091,250 in debt. The interest rate on the debt is 5% and there are no ta es. What is the EBIT? A) 181,175 B) 145,500 C) 154,594 D) 172, 781 E) 163,688
A. Suppose that Taco John’s equity is currently selling for $55 per share, with 4million shares outstanding. If the firm also has 17 thousand bonds outstanding,which are selling at 94 percent of par, what are the firm’s current capital structure weights? Use the capital structure weights equation:B. Suppose that Taco John’s is considering an active change to their capital structure so as to have a D/E of 0.4, which type of security (stocks or bonds) would they need to sell to accomplish this, and how much would they have to sell?
