Answer:
cost of common equity = 14.46%
WACC = 11.29%
accept = Project A
Explanation:
Cost of common equity is the return that is required by Holders of Common Stock.
The available details can be used to calculate the cost of common equity using the Dividend Growth Model as follows :
Cost of common equity = (Next year`s Dividend / Current Market Price of a Stock) + Expected Growth
= ($2.20/$26)+6%
= 14.46%
WACC is the minimum return that a project must offer before it can be accepted.It shows the risk of the company.
Cost of Debt = Market Interest Rate × (1 - tax rate)
= 9.00% × (1-0.40)
= 5.40%
Capital Source Weight Cost Total
Debt 35% 5.40% 1.89%
Common Equity 65% 14.46% 9.40%
Total 100% 19.86% 11.29%
Therefore WACC is 11.29%
When evaluating projects, Compare the Project`s Internal Rate of Return (IRR) to the WACC.
<u>Project A</u>
IRR 12% > WACC 11.29%
Therefore Accept
<u>Project B/S</u>
IRR 11% < WACC 11.29%
Therefore Do Not Accept
(a) Debt ratio = 0.82
Debt/ Assets = 0.82
Debt/(Debt + Equity) = 0.82
Debt = 0.82Debt + 0.82 Equity
0.18Debt = 0.82 Equity
Equity = 0.18Debt/0.82
Debt/Equity = Debt/(0.18Debt/0.82) = 4.5556
Debt/Equity = 0.82/0.18 =4.5556
Debt-Equity ratio = 4.56 times
(b) Equity Multiple = 1 + Debt-equity ratio
Equity multiplier = 1+4.56 = 5.56
Equity multiplier = 5.56 times
