Klose outfitters inc. believes that its optimal capital structure consists of 60% common equity and 40% debt, and its tax rate is 40%. klose must raise additional capital to fund its upcoming expansion. the firm will have $2 million of new retained earnings with a cost of rs = 12%. new common stock in an amount up to $6 million would have a cost of re = 15%. furthermore, klose can raise up to $3 million of debt at an interest rate of rd = 10% and an additional $4 million of debt at rd = 12%. the cfo estimates that a proposed expansion would require an investment of $5.9 million. what is the wacc for the last dollar raised to complete the expansion?

Respuesta :

Total amount to be raised = 5.9 Million

Equity (60%) =0.6* 5.9 Million= 3.54 Million

2 Million at 12%, next 1.54 Million at 15%

Debt (40%) = 0.4*5.9 Million = 2.36 Million

2.36 Million at 10%. After tax cost of debt =10%*(1-0.4) = 6%

WACC = 2/5.9*12% + 1.54/5.9*15% + 2.36/5.9*6% = 10.38%

WACC for the last dollar raised to complete the expansion = 10.38%
