How would each of the following scenarios affect a firm's cost of debt, r d (l - t), t=tax rate; its cost of equity, rs; and its WACC? Indicate with an increase (I), a decreease (D), or no change (N) whether the factor would raise, lower, or have an indeterminate effect on the item in question. Assume for each answer that other things are held constant, even though in some instances this would probably not be true.  1) The corporate tax rate is lowered.         2) The Federal Reserve tightens credit.         3) The firm uses more debt; that is, it increases its debt ratio
1. Determine the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) for Vigour Pharmaceuticals. Kindly use the following Formulae: WACC: (E/ V) x R e + ( D/ V) x R d x (1-Tc) whereas:  E  is for Equity ( market value of firm's equity)  D is for Debt ( market value of firm's dept) V is for Value ( combine market value which is D + E) R e is the cost of equity R d is the cost of debt  Tc is the corporate tax rate
Which of the following statements is CORRECT?   a. WACC calculations should be based on the before-tax costs of all the individual capital components.   b. Flotation costs associated with issuing new common stock normally reduce the WACC.   c. An increase in the risk-free rate will normally lower the marginal costs of both debt and equity financing.   d. A change in a company's target capital structure cannot affect its WACC.   e. If a company's tax rate increases, then, all else equal, its weighted average cost of capital will decline.
