Answer:

6.64%

Explanation:

The pretax cost of debt is the Yield to Maturity (YTM). Since the coupons are paid semiannually, adjust the duration and the coupon payment amount to semi-annual terms.

You can solve for the YTM using a financial calculator with the following inputs;

Maturity of the bond; N = 20*2 = 40

Face value ; FV = 1000

Semi-annual coupon payment ; PMT = (7%/2)*1000 = 35

Current price of the bond; PV = -1.04*1000 = -1040

Then compute the semiannual interest rate ; CPT I/Y =  3.318%

Therefore, pretax cost of debt; YTM = 3.318 *2 = 6.64%

Fama’s Llamas has a WACC of 9.7 percent. The company’s cost of equity is 12 percent, and its pretax cost of debt is 7.5 percent.
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

0.4766

Explanation:

Given:

WACC = 9.7%

Company’s cost of equity = 12%

Pretax cost of debt = 7.5%

Tax rate = 35%

Now,

WACC

=  Weight × Cost of equity + (1 - weight) × Pretax cost of debt × (1-tax rate)

or

0.097 = weight × 0.12 + ( 1 - weight ) × 0.075 × (1 - 0.35)

or

0.097 = 0.12 × weight + 0.04875 - 0.04875 × weight

or

0.04825 = 0.07125 × weight

or

weight = 0.6772

also,

weight = \frac{\textup{Equity}}{\textup{Debt + Equity}}

or

\frac{\textup{1}}{\textup{weight}}  = \frac{\textup{Debt+equity}}{\textup{Equity}}

or

\frac{1}{0.6772} = \frac{\textup{Debt}}{\textup{Equity}}  + 1

or

1.4766 = \frac{\textup{Debt}}{\textup{Equity}}  + 1

or

\frac{\textup{Debt}}{\textup{Equity}}  = 0.4766
