Basic Definitions Capital—refers to the long-term funds used by a firm to

finance its assets. Capital components—the types of capital used by a firm—

long-term debt and equity Cost of capital—the cost associated with the various types

of capital used by the firm, which is based on the rate of return required by the investors who provide the funds to the firm.

Weighted average cost of capital, WACC—the average percentage cost, based on the proportion of each type of capital, of all the funds used by the firm to finance its assets.

Capital structure—the mix of the types of capital used by the firm to finance its assets.

Optimal capital structure—the mix of capital that minimizes the firm’s WACC, thus maximizes its value.

4

Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC)—Logic

A firm generally uses different types of funds to finance its assets—that is, debt and equity.

Costs associated with different types of capital (funds) usually are not the same—e.g., debt generally is cheaper than equity.

The overall cost, or average, should be weighted based on the proportion of each type of funds used by the firm.

Example: A firm is financed with debt and equity with the following characteristics:

Cost Proportion Debt rdebt =8% 10%

Equity rstock =12% 90%

The average cost of each dollar of financing is:

Weighted average = 8%(0.1) + 12%(0.9) = 11.6% 5

Cost of Capital

Investors who are the participants in the financial markets determine the firm’s costs of funds.

The firm’s costs of funds change when conditions in the financial markets change investors’ general risk aversion changes firm’s risk changes

Cost of Debt, rdT

rd = 3.0% x 2 = 6.0% per year = YTM

11

Cost of Debt, rdT—Example

Bondholders/investors demand a 6 percent rate of return to invest in this firm’s long-term debt.

rd = YTM = 6% is the rate of return paid to bondholders.

The firm pays $80 interest per year, which is a tax deductible expense.

rd is a before-tax amount that needs to be adjusted so as to represent the actual after-tax cost to the firm—that is, the cost of the bond to the firm isn’t really 6 percent.

12

Cost of Debt, rT

Tax Deductibility of InterestExample: The firm issues a new $1,000 face value bond with a 6 percent coupon rate, thus interest equal to $60 is paid each year. If the firm’s taxable income before considering the interest payment is $500 and its marginal tax rate is 40 percent, then the tax liability with and without the interest expense is:

Tax without interest = $500(0.40) = $200Tax with interest = ($500 - $60)( 0.40) = $176

Savings = $24 = $60(0.4)

Net interest after tax savings = $60 - $24 = $36After-tax cost of the new bond = $36/$1,000 = 3.6%rdT = rd x (1 – T) = 6% x (1 – 0.4) = 3.6%

13

Cost of Debt, rdT

rdT = rd x (1 – T)rdT = rd x (1 – T)

= YTM x (1 – T)

rd = before-tax cost of debtT = marginal tax rate

14

Cost of Equity

The cost of equity is based on the rate of return required by the firm’s stockholders. Cost of preferred stock—dividends received by

preferred stockholders represent an annuity Cost of retained earnings (internal equity)—return

that common stockholders require the firm to earn on the funds that have been retained, thus reinvested in the firm, rather than paid out as dividends

Cost of new (external) equity—rate of return required by common stockholders after considering the cost associated with issuing new stock (flotation costs)

15

Cost of Equity—Preferred Stock

Most preferred stocks pay constant dividends, thus the dividend stream represents a perpetuity.

Valuing preferred stock as a perpetuity gives:

ps

D P

Solving for the required rate of return, rps, gives:

$5.76 rps

$72.00$5.76

No tax adjustment, because dividends are not a tax-deductible expense.

17

Cost of Equity—Retained Earnings, rs

The firm must earn a return on reinvested earnings that is sufficient to satisfy existing common stockholders’ investment demands.

If the firm does not earn a sufficient return using retained earnings, then the earnings should be paid out as dividends so that stockholders can invest the funds outside the firm to earn an appropriate rate.

18

Cost of Equity—Retained Earnings, rs

19

Cost of Retained Earnings, rs

CAPM Approach

Assumes the firm’s stockholders are very well diversified; if not, then beta probably is not the appropriate measure of risk for determining the firm’s cost of retained earnings.

rRF generally is associated with with Treasury securities; there are many different rates for Treasuries that have different terms to maturity.

ss )βr(r rr RFMRF

If rRF = 4%, rM = 9%, and s = 1.4

rs = 4% + (9% - 4%)1.4 = 11.0%

20

Cost of Retained Earnings, rs

Bond-Yield-Plus-Risk-Premium Approach

Studies have shown that the return on equity for a particular firm is approximately 3 to 5 percentage points higher than the return on its debt.

As a general rule of thumb, firms often compute the YTM, or rd, for their bonds and then add 3 to 5 percent.

In the current example, rd = 6.0%. As a rough estimate, then, we might say the cost of retained earnings is rs ≈ rd + 4% = 6% + 4% = 10.0%

21

Cost of Retained Earnings, rs

Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) Approach

If the firm is expected to grow at a constant rate, then we have the following relationship:

Capital

ˆˆ

Example: The firm, which is growing at a constant rate of 5 percent, just paid a dividend equal to $1.20; its stock currently sells for $18.

0.05 $18.00

)$1.20(1.05 rs 0.05

$18.00$1.26

rs = 0.07 + 0.05 = 0.12 = 12.0%

22

Cost of Retained Earnings, rs

The three approaches we used to determine the cost of retained earnings give three different results.

The three approaches are based on different assumptions: CAPM approach assumes investors are extremely well

diversified DCF approach assumes the firms grows at a constant rate Bond-yield-plus-risk-premium approach assumes that the

return on equity is related to the return on the firm’s debt

Ideally all three approaches should give the same result; if not, however, we might average the results:

rs = (11% + 10% + 12%)/3 = 11%

23

Cost of EquityNewly Issued Common Stock, re

Rate of return required by common stockholders after considering the costs associated with issuing new stock, which are called flotation costs.

Because the firm has to provide the same gross return to new stockholders as existing stockholders, when the flotation costs associated with a common stock issue are considered, the cost of new common stock always must be greater than the cost of existing stock—that is, the cost of retained earnings.

Modify the DCF approach for computing the cost of retained earnings to include flotation costs

The firm sells new common stock: 800 shares, so that 5,800 shares are outstanding

Weighted Average Cost of Capital, WACC

To make decisions about capital budgeting projects, we need to combine the various costs of capital—debt, preferred stock, and common stock—into a single required rate of return.

Weighted average cost of capital, or WACC—the weighted average of the component costs of capital using as the weights the proportion each type of financing makes up of the total financing of the firm.

100.0

3.6%8.0

11.0 or 12.45

Percent After-TaxType of Financing of total Cost, r

If the firm can use retained earnings to finance new projects

WACC = 0.4(3.6%) + 0.1(8.0%) + 0.5(11.0%) = 7.74%

If the firm has to issue new common stock to finance new projects

WACC = 0.4(3.6%) + 0.1(8.0%) + 0.5(12.45%) = 8.47%

31

Marginal Cost of Capital, MCC

Weighted average cost of raising additional funds.

Generally, MCC often is greater than the existing WACC—that is, the cost of new funding increases—because the firm’s risk increases, which causes investors to

require a higher rate of return

costs of issuing new funds increase

debt—when rd1 < rd2 < … < rdn

preferred stock—when rps1 < rps2 < … < rpsn

common equity—retained earnings or new common stock There is a break point when retained earnings generated in

the current period is exhausted.

Once the current addition to retained earnings is exhausted, then the firm must issue new common stock to satisfy additional common equity financing requirements.

Costs of funds often increase as the firm uses significantly higher amounts—risk increases.
