CHAPTER 9 The Cost of Capital

What types of long-term capital do firms use?

Should we focus on before-tax or after-tax capital costs?

Should we focus on historical (embedded) costs or new (marginal) costs?

A 15-year, 12% semiannual bond sells for $1,153.72. Whatís kd?

Component Cost of Debt

Whatís the cost of preferred stock? PP = $113.10; 10%Q; Par = $100; F = $2.

Picture of Preferred

Note:

Is preferred stock more or less risky to investors than debt?

Why is yield on preferred lower than kd?

Example:

Why is there a cost for retained earnings?

PPT Slide

Three ways to determine cost of retained earnings, ks:

Whatís the cost of retained earnings based on the CAPM? kRF = 7%, MRP = 6%, b = 1.2.

Whatís the DCF cost of retained earnings, ks? Given: D0 = $4.19; P0 = $50; g = 5%.

Suppose the company has been earning 15% on equity (ROE = 15%) and retaining 35% (dividend payout = 65%), and this situation is expected to continue. Whatís the expected future g?

Retention growth rate: g = b(ROE) = 0.35(15%) = 5.25%. Here b = Fraction retained. Close to g = 5% given earlier. Think of bank account paying 10% with b = 0, b = 1.0, and b = 0.5. Whatís g?

Could DCF methodology be applied if g is not constant?

Find ks using the own-bond-yield-plus-risk-premium method. (kd = 10%, RP = 4%.)

Whatís a reasonable final estimate of ks?

How do we find the cost of new common stock, ke?
