The DEF Company is planning a $64 million expansion. The expansion is to be financed by selling $25.6 million in new debt and $38.4 million in new common stock. The before-tax required rate of return on debt is 9 percent and the required rate of return on equity is 14 percent. If the company is in the 35 percent tax bracket, what is the firm's cost of capital?
Total Capital Issued = $64 million
Value of debt issue = $25.60 million
Value of equity issue = $38.40 million.
Weight of debt = $25.60 million / 64 mllion
= 40%
Weight of equity = 60%.
Firms cost of capital is calculated below:
Cost of capital = (60% × 14%) + (40% × 9%) × (1 - 35%)
= 8.40% + 2.34%
= 10.76%
firm's cost of capital is 10.76%.
