The bond-yield-plus-risk-premium approach to estimating the cost of common equity involves adding a risk premium to the interest rate on the company’s own long-term bonds. The size of the risk premium for bonds with different ratings is published daily in The Wall Street Journal or is available online.
The WACC is calculated using a before-tax cost for debt that is equal to the interest rate that must be paid on new debt, along with the after-tax costs for common stock and for preferred stock if it is used.
An increase in the risk-free rate is likely to reduce the marginal costs of both debt and equity.
The relevant WACC can change depending on the amount of funds a firm raises during a given year. Moreover, the WACC at each level of funds raised is a weighted average of the marginal costs of each capital component, with the weights based on the firm’s target capital structure.

A. When bonds are initially issued, the coupon rate is generally set equal to the required yield to maturity so that the company can issue the bonds at their face value. B. If at any point in the bond’s life its coupon rate is less than the market determined yield to maturity, its market value at that time will be less than the face value of the bond. C. More than one of the other statements are correct D. A government bond with a fixed coupon rate may be valued below its’ face value even though the promised cash flows are effectively riskless. E.

- You review the characteristics of a recent corporate bond issue and notice that the issuing firm's Debt to Equity (D/E) ratio is higher than the industry average, while its Return on Equity (ROE) is lower than the industry average. If bonds issued by other firms with industry average D/E and ROE ratios have a BBB rating, you can draw the following conclusion: a. This bond is likely to have a higher rating (A or above). b. This bond is likely to have a lower rating (BB or below). c. This bond will also have a BBB rating.arrow_forwardIf the pure expectations theory of the term structure is correct, which of the following statements would be CORRECT? a. If a 1-year Treasury bill has a yield to maturity of 7% and a 2-year Treasury bill has a yield to maturity of 8%, this would imply the market believes that 1-year rates will be 7.5% one year from now. b. The yield on a 5-year corporate bond should always exceed the yield on a 3-year Treasury bond. c. Interest rate (price) risk is higher on long-term bonds, but reinvestment rate risk is higher on short-term bonds. d. An upward-sloping yield curve would imply that interest rates are expected to be lower in the future. e. Interest rate (price) risk is higher on short-term bonds, but reinvestment rate risk is higher on long-term bondsarrow_forwardThe tables below show, respectively, the characteristics of two annual-pay bonds from the same issuer with the same priority in the event of default, and spot interest rates.

The total yield on a bond is derived from dividends plus changes in the price of the bond. c. Bonds are generally regarded as being riskier than common stocks, therefore bonds have higher required returns. d.

Group of answer choices The actual capital gains yield for a one-year holding period on a bond can never be greater than the current yield on the bond. All of these statements are false. The price of a coupon bond is determined primarily by the number of years to maturity. The discount or premium on a bond can be expressed as the difference between the coupon payment on an old bond which originally sold at par and the coupon payment on a new bond, selling at par, where the difference in payments is discounted at the new market rate. On a coupon paying bond, the final interest payment is made one period before maturity and then, at maturity, the bond's face value is paid as the final payment.arrow_forward(a) Do you agree with the following statement, and explain why? “If two bonds have the same duration, then the percentage change in price of the two bonds will be the same for a given change in interest rates.” (b) Discuss the problems with the traditional bond pricing approach by using the yield to maturity.
