ABC Corporation has the following capital structure:
Debt $35 million
Preferred Stock $20 million
Common Equity (Retained Earnings) $45 million
Yield to maturity = 12%
Tax rate = 40%
After-tax cost of debt = 7.2%
Cost of preferred stock = 8.93%
Next year dividends = $ 4share
Growth Rate = 10%
Current Price = $45/share
Cost of retained earnings = 18.89%
Risk-free rate = 5%
Return the (stock) Market = 12%
Beta = 1.5
Cost of Equity = 15.5%
Calculate the Weighted Average Cost of Debt (WACC). For the cost of retained earnings, please use the cost from Dividend Valuation Model.
Market Value of each capital Components
Market Value of Debt = $35 Million
Market Value of Preferred Stock = $20 Million
Market Value of Equity = $45 Million
Total Market Value = $100 Million
The weights that would be used for a weighted average cost of capital (WACC) computation.
Weight of Debt = 0.35 [$35 Million / $100 Million]
Weight of Preferred Stock = 0.20 [$20 Million / $100 Million]
Weight of Equity = 0.45 [$45 Million / $100 Million]
After-tax Cost of Debt
The After-tax Cost of Debt is the after-tax Yield to maturity of the Bond
After Tax Cost of Debt = Yield to maturity x (1 – Tax Rate)
= 12.00% x (1 – 0.40)
= 12.00% x 0.60
= 7.20%
Cost of Preferred Stock = 8.93% (Given)
Cost of Equity
Here, we have Dividend per share in year 1 (D1) = $4.00 per share
Dividend Growth Rate (g) = 10.00% per year
Current market price of the stock (P0) = $45.00 per share
As per the Dividend Valuation Model, the Cost of equity is calculated as follows
Cost of equity = [D1 / P0] + g
= [$4.00 / $45.00] + 0.10
= 0.0889 + 0.10
= 0.1889 or
= 18.89%
Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC)
Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) = [After Tax Cost of Debt x Weight of Debt] + [Cost of Preferred stock x Weight of preferred stock] + [Cost of equity x Weight of Equity]
= [7.20% x 0.35] + [8.93% x 0.20] + [18.89% x 0.45]
= 2.52% + 1.79% + 8.50%
= 12.81%
“Hence, the Weighted Average Cost of Debt (WACC) will be 12.81%”

Rollins Corporation has a target capital structure consisting of 20% debt, 20% preferred stock, and 60% common equity. Assume the firm has insufficient retained earnings to fund the equity portion of its capital budget. It has 20-year, 12% semiannual coupon bonds that sell at their par value of $1,000. The firm could sell, at par, $100 preferred stock that pays a 12% annual dividend, but flotation costs of 5% would be incurred. Rollins’ beta is 1.2, the risk-free rate is...
