Sirom scientific solutions has $12 million of outstanding equity and $4 million of bank debt. the bank debt costs 4% per year. the estimated equity beta is 1. if the market risk premium is 8% and the risk-free rate is 4%, compute the weighted average cost of capital if the firm's tax rate is 30%.
a) 9.70 %
b) 8.73 %
c) 10.67%
d) 9.22%

WACC = 9.7%

Explanation:

First lets calculate CAPM to identify the return on equity.

CAPM = Risk free rate + Beta(Market Premium)

CAPM = 4 + 1(8) = 12%

WACC

= weight of equity * return on equity + weight of debt * return on debt * (1 - tax)

This gives,

=(12/12+4) * 0.12 + [(4/12+4) * 0.04 * (1 - 0.30)]

WACC = 0.09 + 0.007 = 9.7%

Hope that helps.

A) 9.7%

Explanation:

Bank debt cost= bank rate debt

Cost equity = free risk rate + equity beta × market risk premium.

Weight in equity = outstanding equity / (outstanding equity + debt)

Weight in debt = 1 - weight in equity.

WACC = weight in equity × cost of equity + weight in debt × cost of debt × (1 - tax rate)

Cost of equity = 0.04 + 1 × 0.08= 0.12

weight in equity= 12 / (4 + 12) = 0.75 weight in debt = 1 - 0.75 = 0.25

WACC= 0.75 × 0.12 + 0.25 × 0.04 × (1 - 0.30) = 0.097 * 100 = 9.7%

there is no possible way mgk stands a chance with the greatest white rapper of all time. eminem killshots had more bars than rap devil and the reason mgk is doing all this is cause he not getting attention anymore til the release of rap devil and the disses he is putting on eminem. now rap devil was more fire than killshot so mgk might won the battle with rap devil but eminem won the war with killshot.
