Modigliani and Miller (M&M), in a world of perfect capital markets, what will be the expected equity return (or cost of equity) for a firm that has a cost of capital of 10 percent, a cost of debt of 6 percent, debt valued at $1.2 million, and equity valued at $1.0 million?
Computation of Expected Equity Return (Cost of Equity):
Value of Debt = $1.2 million
Value of Equity = $1.0 million
Value of Total Capital = $1.2 million + $1.0 million = $2.2 million
Weight of Debt = $1.20 million / $2.2 million = 54.55%
Weight of Equity = $1.0 million / $2.2 million = 45.45%
According to Modigliani and Miller? (M&M), in a world of perfect capital? markets, tax rate is zero.
So cost of equity is calculated below:
10% = (Cost of Equity * 45.45%) + (6%*54.55%)
10% - 3.27% = (Cost of Equity * 45.45%)
Cost of Equity = 6.73% / 45.45% = 14.80%
