Answer:

The WACC of the firm is 10.08% and option A is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The WACC or the weighted average cost of capital is the average cost of capital to the firm based on its capital structure and the weights of all the components that form up its capital structure and their respective rate. The capital structure of a firm consists of debt, preferred stock and the common stock.

The formula for WACC is,

WACC = wD * rD * (1-tax rate)  +  wP * rP  +  wE  *  rE

Where,

  • wD, wP and wE represents the weight of debt, preferred stock and common equity component as a proportion of total assets
  • rD, rP and rE represents the cost of each component
  • rD * (1-tax rate) is taken as the after tax cost of debt is used for WACC

WACC =  0.35 * 0.065 * (1-0.4)  +   0.1 * 0.06   +   0.55 * 0.1475

WACC = 0.1008 or 10.08%

A 13-year bond of a firm in severe financial distress has a coupon rate of 10% and sells for $930. The firm is currently renegot
adoni [48]

Answer:

Stated yield is 11.04%

expected yield is  5.78%

Explanation:

The expected yield to maturity can be computed using the rate formula in excel which is given below:

=rate(nper,pmt,-pv,fv)

nper is the number of coupon interest the bond would pay which is 13

pmt is the amount of coupon interest the bond pays which is $1000*10%=$100

pv is the current price of the bond which is $930

fv is the face value of $1000

=rate(13,100,-930,1000)=11.04%

However the expected yield has the coupon interest reduced to one -half as calculated below:

=rate(13,100*0.5,-930,1000)=5.78%
