| 9-1 The Weighted Average Cost of Capital | ||||||||||||||||||||
| The cost of capital is the weighted average cost of the debt, preferred stock, and common equity that the firm uses to finance its assets, or its WACC. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Definitions | ||||||||||||||||||||
| WACC = | Weighted average cost of capital | |||||||||||||||||||
| = | wd rd(1 – T) + wps rps + ws rs | |||||||||||||||||||
| rd = | Cost of debt | |||||||||||||||||||
| rps = | Cost of preferred stock | |||||||||||||||||||
| rs = | Cost of stock (common equity) | |||||||||||||||||||
| wd = | Percent of target capital structure financed with debt | |||||||||||||||||||

| Notes: | ||||||||||||||||||||
| 1. The market value of the notes payable is equal to the book value. Some of the long-term bonds sell at a discount and some sell at a premium, but their aggregate market value is approximately equal to their aggregate book value. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| 2. The common stock price is $31 per share. There are 60 million shares outstanding, for a total market value of equity of $31(60) = $1,860 million. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| 3. The preferred stock price is $100 per share. There are 1 million shares outstanding, for a total market value of preferred of $100(1) = $100 million. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| 9-3 The Cost of Debt | ||||||||||||||||||||
| The relevant cost of debt is the after-tax cost of new debt, taking account of the tax deductibility of interest. The after-tax cost is calculated by multiplying the interest rate (or the before-tax cost of debt) times one minus the tax rate. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| 9-3a After-Tax Cost of Short-Term Debt: rstd (1 − T) | ||||||||||||||||||||
| MicroDrive has a 25% tax rate and notes payable with an 8% interest rate: | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Tax rate = | 25% | |||||||||||||||||||
| rstd = | 8% | |||||||||||||||||||
| After-tax cost of short-term debt: rstd (1 - T) = | 6.0% | |||||||||||||||||||
| 9-3b After-Tax Cost of Long-Term Debt: rd (1 − T) | ||||||||||||||||||||

| 9-3d Flotation Costs and the Cost of Debt | ||||||||||||||||||||
| For illustrative purposes, suppose a bond is issued with 10-years until maturity, a $1,000 par value, an 8% annual coupon rate, and will make semiannual payments. The issue price is equal to par and the bond will initially sell at its par value. The tax rate is 25% and the flotation percentage cost is 2.8%. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Input Data: | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Years to maturity = | 10 | |||||||||||||||||||
| Number of payments per year = | 2 | |||||||||||||||||||
| Maturity payment= M = Par = | $1,000 | |||||||||||||||||||
| Issue price = | $1,000 | |||||||||||||||||||
| Annual coupon rate = | 8.0% | |||||||||||||||||||
| Flotation percentage cost (F) = | 2.8% | |||||||||||||||||||
| Tax rate = | 25% | |||||||||||||||||||
| The Constant Yield Method | ||||||||||||||||||||
| The net issue price per bond to the issuer is the issue price minus the flotation cost. The first step in the constant yield method is to calculate the issuer's pre-tax yield to maturity based upon the net issue price. Then multiply the pre-tax yield by 1 – T. The result is the after-tax cost of debt. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Net issue price per bond = | $972.00 | |||||||||||||||||||
| N = | 20 | |||||||||||||||||||
| PMT = | $40.00 | |||||||||||||||||||
| PV = | -$972.00 | |||||||||||||||||||
| FV = | $1,000.00 | |||||||||||||||||||
| Issuer's pre-tax YTM = | 8.420% | |||||||||||||||||||
| Tax rate = | 25% | |||||||||||||||||||
| After-tax cost of long-term debt: rd (1 - T) = | 6.315% | |||||||||||||||||||
| After-Tax Cost of Debt for a Par Bond: Flotation Costs ≥ De Minimis | ||||||||||||||||||||
| The after-tax cost of debt depends upon flotation costs, but it also depends upon whether or not the flotation cost per bond is greater than de minimis, which is defined as: | ||||||||||||||||||||
| de minimis = 0.0025(M)(Par) = | $25.00 | |||||||||||||||||||
| If the flotation cost per bond is greater than de minimis, then the constant yield method should be used. That is true for this example, as shown below. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Flotation costs per bond = | $28.00 | ≥ | $25.00 | = de minimis | ||||||||||||||||
| After-Tax Cost of Debt for a Par Bond: Flotation Costs < De Minimis | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Now consider a bond exactly like the bond in the previous example except that it has a 28 year maturity instead of a 10 year maturity. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Input Data: | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Years to maturity = | 28 | |||||||||||||||||||
| Number of payments per year = | 2 | |||||||||||||||||||
| Maturity payment= M = Par = | $1,000 | |||||||||||||||||||
| Issue price = | $1,000 | |||||||||||||||||||
| Annual coupon rate = | 8.0% | |||||||||||||||||||
| Flotation percentage cost (F) = | 2.8% | |||||||||||||||||||
| Tax rate = | 25% | |||||||||||||||||||
| If the flotation cost per bond is greater than than de minimis, then the flotation cost must be allocated equally over each payment period as a noncash expense that reduces the issuer's taxes in each payment period. The after-tax cost of debt is equal to the yield to maturity, base upon after-tax cash interest payments. Otherwise, the constant yield method should be used. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| de minimis = 0.0025(M)(Par) = | $70.00 | |||||||||||||||||||
| Flotation costs per bond = | $28.00 | |||||||||||||||||||
| The net discount is < de minimis, so use the allocation method. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| The first step is to allocate flotation costs in equal portions to each payment period. The allocated flotation costs are a noncash expense but they may be deducted for tax purposes. This creates a tax shield each period in the amount of T(allocated flotation cost). The second step is to calculate the after-tax coupon payments. Use these after-tax values to calculate the yield to maturity, which is the after-tax cost of debt. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Number of coupon payments = N = | 56 | |||||||||||||||||||
| Allocated flotation cost/period = Allocated cost/N = | $0.50 | |||||||||||||||||||
| Tax savings from allocated cost = T(allocated cost) = | $0.125 | |||||||||||||||||||
| After-tax coupon payment = Pre-tax coupon (1 − T) = | $30.00 | |||||||||||||||||||
| Net after-tax payment including tax savings = PMT= | $29.875 | |||||||||||||||||||
| Net issue price per bond = Issue price − flotation costs = PV = | -$972.00 | |||||||||||||||||||
| Payment of face value at maturity = FV= | $1,000.0 | |||||||||||||||||||
| Semiannual yield to maturity = Rate = | 3.0933% | |||||||||||||||||||
| Annual yield to maturity = After-tax cost of debt = | 6.1867% | |||||||||||||||||||
| Suppose the analyst incorrectly ignored the allocation of flotation expenses and instead used the constant yield method. How much difference is there between this incorrect approach and the correct approach? | ||||||||||||||||||||
| After-tax cost of long-term debt: constant yield method = | ||||||||||||||||||||
| N = | 56 | |||||||||||||||||||
| PMT = | $40.00 | |||||||||||||||||||
| PV = | -$972.00 | |||||||||||||||||||
| FV = | $1,000.00 | |||||||||||||||||||
| Semiannual yield to maturity = Rate = | 4.128995% | |||||||||||||||||||
| Annual yield to maturity = | 8.25799% | |||||||||||||||||||
| After-tax cost of debt = annual YTM(1-T) = | 6.1935% | Keep in mind that this is the incorrect approach. | ||||||||||||||||||
| After-tax cost of long-term debt: allocation method = | 6.1867% | |||||||||||||||||||
| −After-tax cost of long-term debt: constant yield method = | 6.1935% | |||||||||||||||||||
| Error = | -0.0068% | |||||||||||||||||||
| Most analysts would consider this to be too small a difference and would therefore use the easier constant yield method. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| 9-3e The After-Tax Cost of Debt: Flotation Costs, Premium Bonds, and Discount Bonds | ||||||||||||||||||||
| The appropriate tax treatment depends upon whether the bond has a total net premium or total net discount. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Total net premium if: | Issue price – flotation costs > Par | |||||||||||||||||||
| Total net discount if: | Issue price – flotation costs < Par | |||||||||||||||||||
| If the bond has a total net premium, use the constant yield method. If the bond has a total net discount, use the same approach as applied above for a bond with flotations costs. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| 9-4 Cost of Preferred Stock, rps | ||||||||||||||||||||
| The cost of preferred stock is simply the preferred dividend divided by the price the company will receive if it issues new preferred stock. No tax adjustment is necessary, as preferred dividends are not tax deductible. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| What is the cost of preferred stock for a company that pays a preferred dividend of $7 per share if the company could sell new preferred with a par value of $100 and a flotation cost of 2.1%? | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Pref. coupon | 7.0% | |||||||||||||||||||
| Par value | $100.00 | |||||||||||||||||||
| Pref. Dividend | $7.00 | |||||||||||||||||||
| Flotation % | 2.1% | |||||||||||||||||||
| Net preferred issue price | $97.90 | |||||||||||||||||||
| rps = | DivPref | ÷ | Net Pref. Price | |||||||||||||||||
| rps = | $7.00 | ÷ | $97.90 | = | 7.150% | |||||||||||||||
| 9-5 Cost of Common Stock: The Market Risk Premium, RPM | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Before addressing the required return of an individual stock, what is the required return for the stock market? What is the Market Risk Premium (RPM), which is excess return investor require to induce them to invest in the stock market rather than a long-term T-bond? | ||||||||||||||||||||
| There are 3 methods to estimate the market risk premium. (1) Use historical market data as an estimate for the current risk premium. (2) Ask experts. (3) Estimate a forward looking risk premium, found as the differential between expected returns on the S&P 500 over some forecasted future period and the current long-term bond rate. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| 9-5a Historical Risk Premiums | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Many analysts use data provided by Ibbotson Associates, which has collected data from 1926. Ibbotson publishes information annually that enables use of different periods and thus different historical risk premiums. Ibbotson recommends using the longest set of data, but others disagree, arguing that events that occurred back in the period of say 1926 to 1966 are less relevant than events that occurred during the last 50 or so years. | ||||||||||||||||||||

| Surveys of experts (CFO's, analysts, professors) are another way to estimate the risk premium. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Forward-Looking Risk Premiums | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Historical risk premiums look at past data and assume that investors think the best estimate of the current risk premium is the historical differential between earned returns on stocks and bonds. Forward-looking risk premiums assume that investors expect equities to earn a rate that is equal to the expected dividend yield plus the expected capital gains (growth) rate and the current yield on Treasury securities. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| If we make these two assumptions, we can use the constant dividend growth model to estimate the expected return on the market: (1) growth is expected to be constant, (2) the firm pays out all available funds as dividends (i.e., there are no stock repurchases or purchases of short-term securities). | ||||||||||||||||||||
| rM = (D1/P0) + g | ||||||||||||||||||||
| To use this model, we need estimates of the expected dividend yield and the expected growth rate in the stock price (recall that in a constant growth model, the expected growth in stock price is also the expected growth in dividends). | ||||||||||||||||||||

| rM = | (D1/P0) + g | We would like estimates of the function: dividend = a*e^(r*year). r will be the estimated growth rate of dividends, which is what we want.

| 9-7 Dividend-Yield-Plus-Growth-Rate, or Discounted Cash Flow (DCF), Approach | ||||||||||||||||||||
| The simplest DCF model assumes that growth is expected to remain constant, and in this case: | rs = D1/P0 + g. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Estimating Inputs for the DCF Approach | ||||||||||||||||||||
| The next expected dividend is easy to estimate, and the stock price can be determined readily. However, it is not easy to determine the marginal investor's expected future growth rate. Three approaches are commonly used: (1) historical growth rates, (2) retention growth model, and (3) analysts' forecasts. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| 1. Historical Growth Rates | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Historical growth estimates are usually not good estimates of expected future growth except for a few very stable and mature companies. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| 2. Retention Growth Model | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Another method for finding the growth is utilizing the sustainable growth rate, found by multiplying the expected future return on equity (ROE) times the expected future retention ratio (i.e., the percentage of net income that is not paid out as dividends). This is: | ||||||||||||||||||||
| g = (Retention rate) (ROE) = (1 – Payout rate) (ROE) | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Suppose a firm's expected ROE is 14.5% and it pays out 63% of its earnings. What is the firm's sustainable growth rate? | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Payout rate = | 63% | |||||||||||||||||||
| ROE = | 14.50% | |||||||||||||||||||
| g = | (1 – Payout rate) x (ROE) | |||||||||||||||||||
| g = | 37% | x | 14.50% | |||||||||||||||||
| g = | 5.4% | |||||||||||||||||||
| 3. Analysts' Forecasts | ||||||||||||||||||||
| A third method for estimating the growth rate is to use analysts' forecasts. Value Line provides estimated dividends. IBES, Zack's, and many brokerage firms provide estimates of growth rates, which can be used as proxies for dividend growth. These often have a forecast for the next five years and then a long-term forecast for the period after five years, which requires the use of a nonconstant multi-stage growth model, as described in the Web Extension. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| An Illustration of the DCF Approach | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Suppose a firm's stock trades at $32 and its next dividend is expected to be $1.82. If the expected growth rate is 5.5%, what is the firm's cost of equity? | ||||||||||||||||||||
| P0 = | $32.00 | |||||||||||||||||||
| D1 = | $1.82 | |||||||||||||||||||
| g = | 5.4% | |||||||||||||||||||

| The weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is calculated using the firm's target capital structure together with its after-tax cost of long-term debt, after-tax cost of short-term debt, cost of preferred stock, and cost of common equity. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| WACC = | Weighted average cost of capital | |||||||||||||||||||

| 9-9 Adjusting the Cost of Equity for Flotation Costs | ||||||||||||||||||||
| A company's stock sells for $32 and its next dividend is expected to be $1.82, with constant growth of 5.5%. What is the cost of equity using the DCF model? | ||||||||||||||||||||
| P0 = | $32.00 | |||||||||||||||||||
| D1 = | $1.82 | |||||||||||||||||||
| g = | 5.4% | |||||||||||||||||||
| rs = | D1 | ÷ | P0 | + | g | |||||||||||||||
| rs = | $1.82 | ÷ | $32.00 | + | 5.4% | |||||||||||||||
| rs = | 11.1% | |||||||||||||||||||
| If the firm in the preceding question incurred a flotation cost of 12.5% for issuing new stock, how much higher is its cost of equity from having to issue new common stock? | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Flotation percentage cost (F) = | 12.5% | |||||||||||||||||||
| Stock price = | $32.00 | |||||||||||||||||||
| Net proceeds after flotation costs = | (Stock Price) | (1 – F) | ||||||||||||||||||
| Net proceeds after flotation costs = | $32.00 | 88% | ||||||||||||||||||
| Net proceeds after flotation costs = | $28.00 | |||||||||||||||||||
| Net proceeds after flotation costs = | $28.00 | |||||||||||||||||||
| D1 = | $1.82 | |||||||||||||||||||
| g = | 5.40% | |||||||||||||||||||
| rs = | D1 | ÷ | Net Proceeds | + | g | |||||||||||||||
| rs = | $1.82 | ÷ | $28.00 | + | 5.4% | |||||||||||||||
| rs = | 6.5% | + | 5.4% | |||||||||||||||||
| rs = | 11.9% | |||||||||||||||||||
| Notice that this cost of stock is quite different than the cost of stock without flotation costs. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| To find the cost of perpetual preferred stock, simply use the procedure above with g = 0. If the preferred stock has a fixed maturity, then use the same procedure as for debt, except that the preferred dividend is not tax deductible. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| 9-10 Privately Owned Firms and Small Businesses | ||||||||||||||||||||
| A privately held firm often estimates its own beta as the average beta of publicly traded companies in the same industry. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Own-Bond-Yield-Plus-Judgmental-Risk-Premium Approach | ||||||||||||||||||||
| This approach consists of adding a judgmental risk premium to the yield on the firm's own long-term debt. It is logical that a firm with risky, low-rated debt would also have risky, high-cost equity. Historically, we have observed that the risk premium for equity is in the range of 3 to 5 percentage points. In addition to applications to privately held firms, this method is used primarily in utility rate case hearings. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Example: | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Judgmental over-own-bond-yield risk premium = | 4.0% | |||||||||||||||||||
| Bond yield or rd = | 10.0% | |||||||||||||||||||
| rs = | Extra Premium | + | rd | |||||||||||||||||
| rs = | 4.0% | + | 10.0% | |||||||||||||||||
| rs = | 14.0% | |||||||||||||||||||
| 9-11 Managerial Issues and the Cost of Capital | ||||||||||||||||||||
| There is a relationship between the cost of capital and risk--the higher a project's risk, the higher its cost of capital. When adjusting for risk, firms usually begin by estimating a divisional cost of capital, and then adjusting this estimate for the risk of individual projects. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Consider a company with a single division, steel production. The risk-free rate of interest is 5%, and the market risk premium is 6%. If the firm has a beta of 1.1, what is the firm's cost of equity? | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Risk-free rate | 5% | |||||||||||||||||||
| Market risk premium | 6.0% | |||||||||||||||||||
| Steel Beta | 1.1 | rSteel = | 11.6% | |||||||||||||||||
| Suppose the firm undertakes a new operation (a barge project). The average beta of companies that only have barge operations (I.e., pure-play companies) is 1.5. What is the cost of equity for the new division? | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Risk-free rate | 5% | |||||||||||||||||||
| Market risk premium | 6.0% | |||||||||||||||||||
| Barge Beta | 1.5 | rBarge = | 14.0% | |||||||||||||||||
| Now suppose the firm undertakes a new low-risk operation (a distribution center). The average beta of companies that only have distribution centers (I.e., pure-play companies) is 0.5. What is the cost of equity for the new division? | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Risk-free rate | 5% | |||||||||||||||||||
| Market risk premium | 6.0% | rCenter = | 8.0% | |||||||||||||||||
| Distribution Beta | 0.5 | |||||||||||||||||||
| After adding the two new divisions, the Steel division will make up 70% of the company's value, the Barge division will make up 20%, and the Distribution division will make up 10%. What is the new beta for the entire company? (Hint: the beta of the firm is a weighted average of the divisional betas.) What rate of return will equity holders require the firm as a whole to provide? | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Beta of Steel Division | 1.1 | |||||||||||||||||||
| % of the firm | 70% | |||||||||||||||||||
| Beta of Barge Division | 1.5 | |||||||||||||||||||
| % of the firm | 20% | |||||||||||||||||||
| Beta of Distribution Division | 0.5 | |||||||||||||||||||
| % of the firm | 10% | New corp. beta = | 1.12 | |||||||||||||||||

| Web Extension 9A: The Required Return Assuming Nonconstant Dividends and Stock Repurchases | ||||||||||||
| As we explained in the chapter, two assumptions underlie the constant dividend growth model: (1) firms do not repurchase any stock, and (2) growth in dividends will be constant. We now explain how to estimate the required return when those assumptions are violated. | ||||||||||||
| Estimating the Long-Term Growth Rate | ||||||||||||
| The long-term constant growth rate should be approximately equal to the long-term growth rate in sales revenue, which depends on prices and units sold. Prices will be determined by inflation in the long-term, and units sold will depend on sustainable population growth. | ||||||||||||
| The forward estimated inflation rate is the difference between yields on a regular 10-year Treasury bond and an inflation protected 10-year Treasury bond, called a TIPS. | ||||||||||||
| Yield on 10-year Treasury bond: | 2.87% | 2/28/18 | ||||||||||
| Yield on 10-year TIPS: | 0.75% | |||||||||||
| Forward estimate of inflation: | 2.12% | |||||||||||
| The Fed provides inflation data going back to 1947. The web site is: | https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/CPIAUCSL | |||||||||||
| Historical inflation rate: | 3.47% | |||||||||||
| Range in expected long-term inflation: | ||||||||||||
| Forward estimate of inflation | to | Historical inflation rate | ||||||||||
| 2.12% | to | 3.47% | ||||||||||
| We estimate expected inflation as the average of the inflation premium from the TIPS and the historical average: | ||||||||||||
| Our estimate of expected inflation: | 2.79% | |||||||||||
| Estimates of long-term population growth range from: | ||||||||||||
| Low estimate of population growth | High estimate of population growth | |||||||||||
| 1.00% | 2.50% | |||||||||||
| Average of estimated population growth: | 1.75% | |||||||||||

| Average of range as an estimate of long-term sales growth, g: | 4.54% | |||||||||||
| The Impact of Stock Repurchases on the Estimated Price | ||||||||||||
| When there are repurchases, the growth rate in dividends per share changes. | ||||||||||||
| The constant growth model is: | ||||||||||||
| This can be rearranged to give this formula: | ||||||||||||
| The two formulas are equivalent, as shown in the following example. | ||||||||||||
| g = | 5.0% | |||||||||||
| α = | 80.0% | |||||||||||
| rs = | 12.0% | |||||||||||
| D0 = | $2.00 | |||||||||||
| = | 6.329% | |||||||||||
| = | $37.50 | |||||||||||
| Alternatively: | ||||||||||||
| = | $37.50 | |||||||||||
| Estimating the Required Return | ||||||||||||
| In the textbook, we assumed constant growth and no repurchases. We now consider cases with repurchases and a period of nonconstant growth, beginning with the case of repurchases but constant growth. | ||||||||||||
| Repurchases and Constant Growth | ||||||||||||
| If there are repurchase but still constant growth, then we can invert the constant growth formula to solve for r. | ||||||||||||
| Repurchases and a Period of Nonconstant Growth | ||||||||||||
| It is often the case that a period of nonconstant growth is expected before growth becomes constant. The valuation model for this situation is: | ||||||||||||
| Estimating the Required Market Return when there are Repurchases and a Period of Nonconstant Growth | ||||||||||||
| In recent years, companies in the S&P 500 aggregately have distributed even more cash to shareholders in the form of stock repurchases than in the form of dividends. Recently, only about 40% of distributions are in the form of dividends. | ||||||||||||
| Percent of total distribution in the form of cash dividends = α = | 41.0% Daves, Phillip R: Daves, Phillip R: http://us.spindices.com/documents/additional-material/sp-500-buyback.xlsx?force_download=true |
|||||||||||
| The next step is to estimate the total S&P dividend payouts for the next 2 years. S&P provides historical data for earnings per share, and dividends per share. They also provide data for estimated earnings per share for the next 2 years. We can use the historical data to estimate a relationship between EPS and DPS, and then use that model and the estiamted EPS to estimate DPS. | ||||||||||||
| We obtained data from the Standard and Poor's Web site: | ||||||||||||
| http://www.standardandpoors.com/home/en/us | ||||||||||||
| For current estimates from Standard & Poor’s, go to www.standardandpoors.com and select S&P Dow Jones Indices. Then select SP 500 under Indices. Then under Additional Info, select Index Earnings and download the spreadsheet. This downloaded an Excel file with quarterly data for the S&P 500. We summed up the quarterly data to get annual data. We also summed up the quarterly forecasted EPS to get the next 2 years annual forecast of EPS. The data is shown below. Note that S&P reorganizes their site frequently and this spreadsheet may not be in the same location when you look! If you can't find it, search on Earnings Estimates, or EPSEST while in the S&P 500 Index section. | ||||||||||||

| Create a time line showing the predicted dividends for each year until growth in payouts becomes constant. To do this, obtain estimates of the next 2 year's projected dividends for the market and the long-term growth rate in CASH FLOWS after year 2. | ||||||||||||
| Find the horizon value on the time line assuming constant growth and an initial assumption for the required return on the market. Find the present value of the annual payouts and the present value of the horizon value; this is the estimate of the value of the market index. If the difference between the actual current value of the market index and the estimated value is not zero, adjust the input for the required market return until the difference is zero. | ||||||||||||
