A $15 million bank line of credit is available with an interest rate of 9%. The firm's tax rate is 34%.
What is the firm’s cost of capital if their capital structure consists of 60% external equity and 40% bank loans?
the answer is 12.58% but need to know how to work this question out
Cost of External Equity = [{D0 * (1 + g)} / (P0 - Flotation Costs)] + g
= [{$4 * (1 + 0.08)} / ($54 - $6)] + 0.08 = 0.09 + 0.08 = 0.17, or 17%
WACC = [wD * kD * (1 - t)] + [wE * kE]
= [0.4 * 9% * (1 - 0.34)] + [0.6 * 17%]
= 2.376% + 10.2% = 12.576%, or 12.58%
