Rollins Corporation is estimating its WACC. Its target capital structure is 20 percent debt, 20 percent preferred stock, and 60

percent common equity. Its bonds have a 12 percent coupon, paid semiannually, a current maturity of 20 years, and sell for $1,000. The firm could sell, at par, $100 preferred stock which pays a 12 percent annual dividend, but flotation costs of 5 percent would be incurred. Rollins' beta is 1.2, the risk-free rate is 10 percent, and the market risk premium is 5 percent. Rollins is a constant-growth firm which just paid a dividend of $2.00, sells for $27.00 per share, and has a growth rate of 8 percent. The firm's policy is to use a risk premium of 4 percentage points when using the bond-yield-plus-risk-premium method to find rs. The firm's marginal tax rate is 40 percent. What is Rollins' cost of preferred stock? Select one: a. 10.0% b. 11.0% c. 12.0% d. 12.6% e. 13.2%

Answer:

d. 12.6%

Explanation:

Rollins Corporation will receive $100 - ($100 x 5% flotation costs) = $100 - $5 = $95 net for each preferred stock issued

Since it will have to pay $12 on preferred dividends, the cost of preferred stocks = preferred dividend per preferred stock / net amount received per preferred stock = $12 / $95 = 0.1263 = 12.6%

Flotation costs are costs that a corporation incurs when issuing new stocks or bonds, and they include legal fees, underwriting fees, etc.

Answer:

  • a. What is the company’s WACC?

R_Wacc =  13% (65%) + 5% (5%) + 6% (30%) * (1-0,25) =  10,05%

  • b. What is the aftertax cost of debt?

The aftertax cost of debt is:    

R_Debt :  (1 - 0,25) x 6% = 4,50%

Explanation:

The WACC it's defined by the formula :

WACC: E/V*Re + D/V*Rd *(1-0,25)

Re:   13,00%  Cost of Common Equity    

Re:   5,00%  Cost of Preferred STOCK  

Re:   6%     Cost of Debt  

E/V:   65%   Percentage of financing that is Common Equity  

PS/V:   5%     Percentage of financing that is Preferred Stock  

DB/V:   30%    Percentage of financing that is Debt  

Tax:  25%    Corporate tax rate  

Now we have all of the components to calculate the WACC.

The WACC is:      

R_Wacc =  13% (65%) + 5% (5%) + 6% (30%)*(1-0,25) =  10,05%  

The aftertax cost of debt is:    

R_Debt :  (1 - 0,25) x 6% = 4,50%
