Answer:
The firm's optimal capital structure is 80% Debt and 20% Equity.
The WACC at this optimal capital structure is 10.28%.
Explanation:
Note: See the attached excel file the computation of the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) at the optimal capital structure. Also note that the data in the question are merged together but they are sorted in the attached excel file before answering the question.
The optimal capital structure of a firm can be described as a combination of debt and equity financing that is the beat in which market value of the firm is maximized while its cost of capital is minimized.
Using the weighted average cost of capital (WACC), the optimal capital cost capital structure occurs at a point where the WACC is the lowest.
From the attached excel file, the lowest WACC is 0.1028, or 10.28%. At this firm Market Debt- to-Value Ratio (wd) which is debt is 0.80 (i.e. 80%), and Market Equity-to-Value Ratio (ws) which is equity is 0.20 (i.e. 20%).
Therefore, the firm's optimal capital structure is 80% Debt and 20% Equity.
The WACC at this optimal capital structure is 10.28%.
Answer:
It will be more profitable to vertically integrate because the company will be able to further reduce its costs.
Explanation:
Profit = Sales - Cost
The lower the cost, the higher the profit (if sales remains the same).
A Vertical integration strategy requires a company to <u>own or control its suppliers (backward integration) or its distributors or retailers (forward integration)</u>, and therefore, gain more control over its value chain.
<em>If the U.S. automobile company chooses to vertically integrate into the car retailing business in countries where it sells most of its cars, then it would cut out certain costs, such as the cost of contracting with independent car dealers, which would further improve profitability.</em>
Also, such forward integration into retailing means the company will develop processes along its value chain that will increase the efficiency of its operations.
