Chapters 11 and 13 Practice Problems and Solutions

11-1 Cost of Debt Oberon, Inc. has a $20 million (face value) 10-year bond issue selling for 97 percent of par that pays an annual coupon of 8.25 percent. What would be Oberon’s before-tax component cost of debt?

Solving equation 11-5 for iD:

Yields iD = 0.087115, or 8.71%

11-7 Cost of Preferred Stock ILK has preferred stock selling for 97 percent of par that pays an 8 percent annual coupon. What would be ILK’s component cost of preferred stock?

Using equation 11-4:

11-2 Weight of Debt FarCry Industries, a maker of telecommunications equipment, has two million shares of common stock outstanding, one million shares of preferred stock outstanding, and 10,000 bonds. If the common shares are selling for $27 per share, the preferred shares are selling for $14.50 per share, and the bonds are selling for 98 percent of par, what weight should you use for debt in the computation of FarCry’s WACC?

Using the computation for debt weight given in example 11-5:

11-3 WACC Suppose that TapDance, Inc.’s capital structure features 65 percent equity, 35 percent debt, and that its before-tax cost of debt is 8 percent, while its cost of equity is

Using equation 11-8:

11-6 Divisional WACCs Suppose your firm has decided to use a divisional WACC approach to analyze projects. The firm currently has four divisions, A through D, with average betas for each division of 0.6, 1.0, 1.3, and 1.6, respectively. If all current and future projects will be financed with half debt and half equity, and if the current cost of equity (based on an average firm beta of 1.0 and a current risk-free rate of 7 percent) is 13 percent and the after-tax yield on the company’s bonds is 8 percent, what will the WACCs be for each division?

Using equation 11-2, we can solve for the expected rate of return on the market:

Reusing equation 11-2, we can solve for the divisional costs of equity using the average divisional betas:

Finally, we can solve for the divisional WACCs using equation 11-1:

13-3 NPV with Non-normal Cash Flows Compute the NPV statistic for Project U and

recommend whether the firm should accept or reject the project with the cash flows

shown as follows if the appropriate cost of capital is ten percent.

Project U

Time 0 1 2 3 4 5

Cash Flow -$1,000 $350 $1,480 -$520 $300 -$100

Using equation 13-2:

The project should be accepted.

13-7 Discounted Payback Compute the discounted payback statistic for Project C and

recommend whether the firm should accept or reject the project with the cash flows

shown as follows if the appropriate cost of capital is 8 percent and the maximum

allowable discounted payback is three years.

Project C

Time 0 1 2 3 4 5

Cash Flow -$1,000 $480 $480 $520 $300 $100

Solving equation 13-5 for N, cumulative PV of cash flow will switch from negative and

positive between years 2 and 3:

Year 0 1 2 3 4 5

Cash Flow -$1,000 $480 $480 $520 $300 $100

Cash Flow PV -$1,000

Cum. Cash Flow PV -$1,000 -$555.56 -$144.04 $268.75

Specifically, DPB = 2+$144.04/412.79 = 2.35 and this project should be accepted.

13-11 MIRR Compute the MIRR statistic for Project I and tell whether to accept or reject the

project with the cash flows shown as follows if the appropriate cost of capital is 12

percent.

With this new set of modified cash flows, the MIRR is:

Since our MIRR decision statistic is less than the 12 percent cost of capital, we would

reject the project under the MIRR method.

flows?

Since there’s only one change in sign, there can only be one IRR.
