Costs of Capital

Costs of Capital
Ke = Cost of Common Equity
Ku = Unlevered Cost of Capital (sometimes called the Unlevered Cost of Equity)
Kpfd = Cost of Preferred Equity
Kd = Cost of Debt (NOTE: This is the before-tax cost of debt)
WACC = Weighted Average Cost of Capital
Please Note: The costs of capital are all related, and the components connect.
Each rate represents a demanded return from a different point of view.
All of the rates represent the same company, so the risk of the company should be reflected in each.
The rates will fall into this order: Rf < Kd < WACC < Ku < Ke.

Unlevered Cost of Capital (Ku)

Michael Dimond: From "Comparable Firms" table
Unlevered Beta
Ku (Unlevered Cost of Capital) Unlevered Cost of Capital is computed using a CAPM variation: Ku = Rf + Unlevered_Beta * (MRP)
Cost of Debt (Kd) and Market Value of Debt
The most accurate way is to find the YTM on outstanding public debt for the company

Yield on Bonds
We could also use "synthetic ratings" to estimate the cost of debt…
not yet… based on TIE (Times Interest Earned ratio)
Michael Dimond: See Damodaran pp 211-215 for his discussion.
not yet… based on Altman Z-Score
Michael Dimond: http://pages.stern.nyu.edu/~ealtman/z-metrics.pdf http://pages.stern.nyu.edu/~ealtman/3-%20CopCrScoringModels.pdf https://www.mckinsey.com/business-functions/risk/our-insights/resilience-in-a-crisis-an-interview-with-professor-edward-i-altman# https://www.researchgate.net/publication/228252704_Bankruptcy_Prediction_Models_and_the_Cost_of_Debt
… and we might cover these in a later lesson.
From the alternatives, choose the rate which best reflects the risk the company poses to lenders.

Levered Beta and Cost of Equity (Ke)
D/E Ratio (based on market values)
Levered Beta ("Bottom-up Beta")
Ke (Cost of Equity … Common Equity) CAPM: Ke = Rf + Levered_Beta * (MRP)
Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC)
Value Weight
- 0 MV Debt Wd =MV Debt / MV Total Capital
- 0 MV Equity We =MV Equity / MV Total Capital
- 0 MV Pfd Stock Wpfd = MV Pfd Stock / MV Total Capital
MV of Total Capital
WACC (Weighted Average Cost of Capital)
Reality Check: Do the rates make sense?
Do they adequately reflect the uncertainty of the cash flows we are valuing?
Remember Rf < Kd < WACC < Ku < Ke

Michael Dimond: This is an alternative way to estimate the unlevered cost of capital. It is sometimes helpful to give a sense-check to unlevered beta.

Michael Dimond: Computed using CAPM and Unlevered Beta

Michael Dimond: from treasury.gov for date of interest

Michael Dimond: Estimated. Consider the implied market return (Rf+MRP) to make sure this is reasonable.

Michael Dimond: Use the same rate used in NOPAT computation for subject company.

Michael Dimond: WACC = We*Ke + Wd*Kd*(1-t) where: We = MV Equity / MV Total Capital Wd = MV Debt / MV Total Capital If preferred stock exists, include factors for weight of preferred stock and required return for preferred stock: WACC = Wpfd*Kpfd + We*Ke + Wd*Kd*(1-t)
