Capital components are sources offunding that come from investors.
Accounts payable, accruals, anddeferred taxes are not sources of
funding that come from investors, sothey are not included in thecalculation of the cost of capital.
We do adjust for these items whencalculating the cash flows of aproject, but not when calculating thecost of capital.

Should we focus on before-tax or
after-tax capital costs?
Tax effects associated with financingcan be incorporated either in capitalbudgeting cash flows or in cost ofcapital.
Most firms incorporate tax effects in
the cost of capital. Therefore, focuson after-tax costs.
Only cost of debt is affected.

Should we focus on historical
(embedded) costs or new (marginal)costs?
The cost of capital is used primarilyto make decisions which involveraising and investing new capital.
So, we should focus on marginalcosts.

Cost of Debt
Method 1: Ask an investment bankerwhat the coupon rate would be on
new debt.Method 2: Find the bond rating for
the company and use the yield onother bonds with a similar rating.
Method 3: Find the yield on thecompanys debt, if it has any.

Is preferred stock more or less risky to
investors than debt?
More risky; company not required to
pay preferred dividend.However, firms want to pay preferred
dividend. Otherwise, (1) cannot pay
common dividend, (2) difficult toraise additional funds, and (3)preferred stockholders may gaincontrol of firm.
8/2/2019 FM11 Ch 09 Show
13/55
9 - 13
Why is yield on preferred lower than rd?
Corporations own most preferred stock,because 70% of preferred dividends are
nontaxable to corporations.Therefore, preferred often has a lower
B-T yield than the B-T yield on debt.
The A-T yield to investors and A-T costto the issuer are higher on preferredthan on debt, which is consistent withthe higher risk of preferred.

rd, AT = 10% - 10%(0.4) = 6.00%

Earnings can be reinvested or paid
out as dividends.
Investors could buy other securities,earn a return.
Thus, there is an opportunity cost ifearnings are reinvested.
Why is there a cost for reinvested
earnings?

Opportunity cost: The returnstockholders could earn onalternative investments of equalrisk.
They could buy similar stocksand earn rs, or company couldrepurchase its own stock and
earn rs. So, rs, is the cost ofreinvested earnings and it is thecost of equity.

Three ways to determine the
cost of equity, rs:
1. CAPM: rs = rRF + (rM - rRF)b
= rRF + (RPM)b.
2. DCF: rs = D1/P0 + g.
3. Own-Bond-Yield-Plus-RiskPremium:
rs = rd + Bond RP.
8/2/2019 FM11 Ch 09 Show
19/55

Find rs using the own-bond-yield-
plus-risk-premium method.(rd = 10%, RP = 4%.)
This RP CAPM RPM. Produces ballpark estimate of rs.
Useful check.
rs = rd + RP= 10.0% + 4.0% = 14.0%

Retention growth rate:
g = ROE(Retention rate)
g = 0.35(15%) = 5.25%.
This is close to g = 5% given earlier.
Think of bank account paying 15% withretention ratio = 0. What is g ofaccount balance? If retention ratio is100%, what is g?

Determining the Weights for the WACC
The weights are the percentages ofthe firm that will be financed by each
component. If possible, always use the target
weights for the percentages of the
firm that will be financed with thevarious types of capital.

Estimating Weights for the
Capital Structure If you dont know the targets, it is
better to estimate the weights using
current market values than currentbook values.
If you dont know the market value of
debt, then it is usually reasonable touse the book values of debt,especially if the debt is short-term.

Four Mistakes to Avoid
1. When estimating the cost of debt,dont use the coupon rate on existing
debt. Use the current interest rate onnew debt.
2. When estimating the risk premium for
the CAPM approach, dont subtractthe currentlong-term T-bond rate fromthe historicalaverage return oncommon stocks. (More ...)

For example, if the historical rM hasbeen about 12.2% and inflation
drives the current rRF up to 10%, thecurrent market risk premium is not12.2% - 10% = 2.2%!

3. Dont use book weights to estimatethe weights for the capital structure.
Use the target capital structure to determinethe weights.
If you dont know the target weights, thenuse the current market value of equity, andnever the book value of equity.
If you dont know the market value of debt,
then the book value of debt often is areasonable approximation, especially forshort-term debt.

1. When a company issues new
common stock they also have to payflotation costs to the underwriter.
2. Issuing new common stock may
send a negative signal to the capitalmarkets, which may depress stockprice.
Why is the cost of internal equity fromreinvested earnings cheaper than thecost of issuing new common stock?

Comments about flotation costs:
Flotation costs depend on the risk of thefirm and the type of capital being raised.
The flotation costs are highest forcommon equity. However, since mostfirms issue equity infrequently, the per-project cost is fairly small.
We will frequently ignore flotation costswhen calculating the WACC.

Should the company use thecomposite WACC as the hurdle rate for
each of its divisions?
NO! The composite WACC reflects the
risk of an average project undertakenby the firm.
Different divisions may have different
risks. The divisions WACC should beadjusted to reflect the divisions riskand capital structure.

How is each type of risk used?
Stand-alone risk is easiest tocalculate.
Market risk is theoretically best in
most situations.However, creditors, customers,
suppliers, and employees are more
affected by corporate risk.Therefore, corporate risk is also
relevant.
