The cost of
capital PROBLEMS
1. WACC
• Eric has another get-rich-quick idea, but needs
funding to support it. He chooses an all-debt
funding scenario. Eric will borrow $5,000 from
Wendy, who will charge him 5% on the loan. He
will also borrow $2,500 from Bebe, who will charge
8% on the loan, and $1,000 from Shelly, who will
charge 16% on the loan. What is the weighted
average cost of capital for Eric?

1. WACC - answer
• Total funds borrowed = $5,000 + $2,500 + $1,000 = $8,500
• WACC = ($5,000/$8,500) X 0.05 + ($2,500/$8,500) X 0.08 +
($1,000/$8,500) X 0.16
• WACC = 0.5882 X 0.05 + 0.2941 X 0.08 + 0.1176 X 0.16
• WACC = 0.0294 + 0.0235 + 0.0188 = 0.0717 or 7.17%

• Grey’s Pharmaceuticals has a new project that will
require funding of $6 million. The company has
decided to pursue an all-debt scenario. Grey’s has
made an agreement with four lenders for the
needed financing. These lenders will advance the

WACC - answer
• WACC = ($2.5/$6) X 0.13 + ($1.3/$6) X 0.10 +
($1.5/$6) X 0.06 + ($0.7/$6) X 0.08
• WACC = 0.4167 X 0.13 + 0.2167 X 0.10 + 0.25 X
0.06 + 0.11667 X 0.08
• WACC = 0.05417 + 0.02167 + 0.015 + 0.00933
=0.10017 = 10.017%

Cost of preferred stock - anwer
• The dividend is $120 X 0.06 = $7.20
• And with a price of $80, the cost of
preferred stock is $7.20/$90 = 0.08 or 8%

Cost of equity: SML - answer
a. Using the security market line we have,
E(ri) = rf + βi (E(rm) – rf)
Cost of Equity
= E(ri) = 0.04 + 0.75 (0.12 – 0.04)
Cost of Equity
= 0.04 + 0.75 (0.08) = 0.04 + 0.06 = 0.10 or 10%
b. Using the security market line we have,
E(ri) = rf + βi (E(rm) – rf)
Cost of Equity
= E(ri) = 0.04 + 0.90 (0.12 – 0.04)
Cost of Equity
= 0.04 + 0.90 (0.08) = 0.04 + 0.072 = 0.112 or
11.2%
c. Using the security market line we have,
E(ri) = rf + βi (E(rm) – rf)
Cost of Equity
= E(ri) = 0.04 + 1.05 (0.12 – 0.04)
Cost of Equity
= 0.04 + 1.05 (0.08) = 0.04 + 0.084 = 0.124 or
12.4%
d. Using the security market line we have,
E(ri) = rf + βi (E(rm) – rf)
Cost of Equity
= E(ri) = 0.04 + 1.20 (0.12 – 0.04)
Cost of Equity
= 0.04 + 1.20 (0.08) = 0.04 + 0.096 = 0.136 or
13.6%

Book value versus market value
components - answer
Trout Inc. Component Weights:
Debt = $5,000,000) / $8,000,000 = 0.625
Equity = $3,000,000 / $8,000,000 = 0.375
Salmon Enterprises Component Weights:
Market Value of Debt
= $980 × 3,000 = $2,940,000
Market Value of Equity
= $23.40 × 260,000 = $6,084,000
Debt Component
= $2,940,000 / ($2,940,000 +
$6,084,000) = 0.3258
Equity Component
= $6,084,000 / ($2,940,000 +
$6,084,000) = 0.6742
WACC for Trout = 0.625 × 8% + 0.375 × 12% = 9.5%
WACC for Salmont = 0.3258 × 8% + 0.6742 × 12% =
10.6968%

Adjusted WACC - answer
Market Value Component weights are:
Equity Market Value
= $30 × 120,000 = $3,600,000
Preferred Stock Market Value
= $110 × 10,000 = $1,100,000
Debt Market Value
= $955 × 6,000 = $5,730,000
Total Market Value
= $3,600,000 + $1,100,000 + $5,730,000 =
$10,430,000
Equity Market Percent
= $3,600,000 / $10,430,000 = 0.3452
Preferred Stock Market Percent = $1,100,000 / $10,430,000 = 0.1055
Debt Market Percent
= $5,730,000 / $10,430,000 = 0.0.5494
Total Book Value
=$3,000,000 + $1,000,000 + $6,000,000 =
$10,000,000
Equity Book Percent
= $3,000,000 / $10,000,000 = 0.30
Preferred Book Market Percent
= $1,000,000 / $10,000,000 = 0.10
Debt Book Percent
= $6,000,000 / $10,000,000 = 0.60

Adjusted WACC - answer
a. Adjusted WACC, market value
= 0.3452 × 15% + 0.1055 × 12% + 0.5494 × 9% × (1 – 0.35)
= 5.1774% + 1.2656% + 3.2139% = 9.6568%
Adjusted WACC, book value
= 0.30 × 15% + 0.10 × 12% + 0.60 × 9% × (1 – 0.35)
= 4.5% + 1.2% + 3.51% = 9.21%
b. Adjusted WACC, market value
= 0.3452 × 15% + 0.1055 × 12% + 0.5494 × 9% × (1 – 0.25)
= 5.1774% + 1.2656% + 3.7083% = 10.1512%
Adjusted WACC, book value
= 0.30 × 15% + 0.10 × 12% + 0.60 × 9% × (1 – 0.25)
= 4.5% + 1.2% + 4.05% = 9.75%

Adjusted WACC - answer
c. Adjusted WACC, market value
= 0.3452 × 15% + 0.1055 × 12% + 0.5494 × 9% × (1 – 0.15)
= 5.1774% + 1.2656% + 4.2027% = 10.6457%
Adjusted WACC, book value
= 0.30 × 15% + 0.10 × 12% + 0.60 × 9% × (1 – 0.15)
= 4.5% + 1.2% + 4.59% = 10.29%
d. Adjusted WACC, market value
= 0.3452 × 15% + 0.1055 × 12% + 0.5494 × 9% × (1 – 0.05)
= 5.1774% + 1.2656% + 4.6972% = 11.1401%
Adjusted WACC, book value
= 0.30 × 15% + 0.10 × 12% + 0.60 × 9% × (1 – 0.05)
= 4.5% + 1.2% + 5.13% = 10.83%
