Problem 14-13 Calculating the WACC [LO3] Dinklage Corp. has 4 million shares of common stock outstanding. The current share pric

e is $70, and the book value per share is $9. The company also has two bond issues outstanding. The first bond issue has a face value of $75 million, a coupon rate of 7 percent, and sells for 95 percent of par. The second issue has a face value of $60 million, a coupon rate of 6 percent, and sells for 107 percent of par. The first issue matures in 25 years, the second in 8 years. Suppose the most recent dividend was $4.30 and the dividend growth rate is 4.5 percent. Assume that the overall cost of debt is the weighted average of that implied by the two outstanding debt issues. Both bonds make semiannual payments. The tax rate is 21 percent. What is the company’s WACC? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

Answer:

WACC = 8.97%

Explanation:

total value of equity = $70 x 4,000,000 = $280,000,000

cost of equity:

$70 = $4.4935 / (Re - 4.5%)

Re - 4.5% = 6.42%

Re = 10.92%

total value of debt:

$75 million x 0.95 = $71,250,000

YTM = {70 + [(1,000 - 950)/25]} / [(1,000 + 950)/2] = 72 / 975 = 7.3846%

$60 million x 1.07 = $64,200,000

YTM = {60 + [(1,000 - 1,070)/8]} / [(1,000 + 1,070)/2] = 51.25 / 1,035 = 4.9517%

weighted cost of debt = ($71,250,000 / $135,450,000 x 7.3846%) + ($64,200,000 / $135,450,000 x 4.9517%) = 3.8845% + 2.347% = 6.2315%

total value of the firm = $280,000,000 + $135,450,000 = $415,450,000

equity weight = $280,000,000 / $415,450,000 = 0.674

debt weight = 1 - 0.674 =  0.326

WACC = (0.674 x 10.92%) + (0.326 x 6.2315% x 0.79) = 7.36% + 1.605% = 8.965% = 8.97%

borishaifa [10]

Answer:

c. loses some, but not all, of its customers as your answer loses some, but not all, of its customers

Explanation:

In a monopolistically competitive product is a product that has competition in the market, but that are not quite the same product, meaning they can´t be exactly replaced by a cheaper or different brand, when a company like that rises its prices, it eventually ends up loosing some clients, but not all, because of the loyal clients and those that can´t or won´t change brands, a good example of a monopolistically competitive firm, would be Apple, which has a loyal base of costumers that eventhough prices of apple products have been rising are still loyal, they are loosing some customers to other brands but not all of them.

STatiana [176]

A firm has adopted a policy whereby it will not seek any additional external financing. Given this, what is the maximum growth r
dlinn [17]

Answer:

9%

Explanation:

Given:

The net income = $12,000

Total equity = $40,000

Total assets = $80,000

Dividend payout ratio = 40%

Now,

Internal rate of return, r = \frac{\textup{Net Income}}{\textup{Total Equity}}\times100\%

or

Internal rate of return, r = \frac{\textup{12,000}}{\textup{80,000}}\times100\%

or  

Internal rate of return, r = 15%

and,

Retention ratio = 1 - Dividend payout ratio

= 1 - 0.40

= 0.60 or 60%

Now,

Growth rate = Retention ratio × Internal rate of return

or

Growth rate = 0.60 × 0.15

or

Growth rate = 0.09

or

Growth rate = 9%
