Finance Nov 16, 2020

A company has a weighted cost of capital of 11.5%, the cost of equity is 16% and the cost of debt is 8.5%. The tax rate is 35%. What are the percentages of equity and debt in the capital structure of the company?

Erkheart Data Systems is considering a project that has the following cash data flow and WACC data. What is the project's MIRR? WACC: 10%.

Year: 0, 1, 2, 3

Cash Flow: -$1000, $550, $450, $460

Expert Solution

Computation of the percentages of equity and debt in the capital structure of the company:-

Weight of debt = Wd

Weight of equity = 1 - Wd

WACC = (Weight of debt * Cost of debt * (1 - Tax rate)) + (Weight of equity * Cost of equity)

11.5% = (W* 8.5% * (1 - 35%)) + ((1 - Wd) * 16%)

11.5% = (W* 5.525%) + 16% - (16% * Wd)

10.475% * W= 16% - 11.5%

Wd = 4.50% / 10.475%

= 42.96%

Weight of debt = Wd = 42.96%

Weight of equity = 1 - Wd

= 1 - 42.96%

= 57.04%

Project's MIRR = 17.46%
