Titan mining corporation has 9.7 million shares of common stock outstanding and 410,000 4.3 percent semiannual bonds outstanding, par value $1,000 each. the common stock currently sells for $45 per share and has a beta of 1.25; the bonds have 10 years to maturity and sell for 116 percent of par. the market risk premium is 8.5 percent, t-bills are yielding 5 percent, and the company’s tax rate is 22 percenta. what is the firm's market value capital structure? (do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 4 decimal places, e. g., .3216.)b. if the company is evaluating a new investment project that has the same risk as the firm's typical project, what rate should the firm use to discount the project's cash flows? (do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e. g., 32.16.)

Answer from: Dweath50

The firm´s capital structure is 48.4347%

, Debt (Bonds), 51.5653% Equity (Shares).

b) The firm must use 10.52% as its discount rate to discount any project's cash flows.

Explanation:

Hi, first we have to determine what percentage of the company´s capital is debt (bonds) and what portion is equity (shares). To do that, we need to find out the amounts of each of the sources mentioned above.

Debt(Bonds)=410,000*1,000=410,000,000

Equity(shares)=9,700,000*45=436,500,000

Therefore, the percentage of debt and equity is as follows.

$Debt(percentage)=\frac{ 410,000,000 }{410,000,000+436,500,000} =0.484347$

$Equity(percentage)=\frac{ 436,500,000 }{410,000,000+436,500,000} =0.515653$

Now, for the second question, we need to find out the yield of the bond and the cost of the shares (K(e)). First, let´s do the bond.

We need to solve for yield the following equation

$Price=\frac{Coupon((1+Yield)^{n}-1) }{Yield(1+Yield)^{n} } +\frac{FaceValue}{(1+Yield)^{n} }$

That is

$1,160=\frac{43((1+Yield)^{20}-1) }{Yield(1+Yield)^{20} } +\frac{1,043}{(1+Yield)^{20} }$

Since this is a very hard to solve, we need to use the MS Excel fuction called IRR, for that, please relate to the excel sheet attached to this answer and notice that in period 0, you have a positive cash flow and is equals to $1,160 and the coupons are $1,000*0.043=$43 (that is because the question says "4.3 percent semiannual bonds outstanding"). In period 20 (which is 10 years or 20 semesters) the last cash flow is -$1043, which is the face value plus the coupon. The function is located in cell C9.

Now, since the output of this formula is effective semi-annually, we have to find the effective annual rate, that is using the following formula.

$r(annual)=(1+0.032)^{2} -1=0.0651$

The yield of the bond is 6.51% effective annual.

On the other hand, the cost of equity is found by using the following equation.

K(e)=rf+beta*MRP

Where:

rf = risk free rate (that is the T-bills yield)

MRP= Market risk premium (in our case, 8.5%)

K(e)=cost of equity

So, everything should look like this.

r(e)=0.05+1.25*0.085=0.1563

So the K(e)= 15.63%

Now, the discount rate to be used for the evaluation of a project by this company is called WACC (weighted average cost of capital), which is found using the following formula.

WACC=Kd*DebtPercent*(1-Taxes)+Ke*EquityPecent

Kd= Cost of debt (6.51%)

Debt Percent=48.4347%

Equity Percent=51.5653%

Taxes =22%

Ke= Cost of equity (15.63%)

So, this is how we find it.

WACC=0.0651*0.484347*(1-0.22)+0.1563*0.515653=0.1052

So, the WACC (discount rate) is 10.52%

Best of luck.

Which of the following statements is correct? large corporations are taxed more favorably than sole proprietorships. corporate stockholders are exposed to unlimited liability. due to limited liability, unlimited lives, and ease of ownership transfer, the vast majority of u. s. businesses (in terms of number of businesses) are organized as corporations. most businesses (by number and total dollar sales) are organized as partnerships or proprietorships because it is easier to set up and operate in one of these forms rather than as a corporation. however, if the business gets very large, it becomes advantageous to convert to a corporation, mainly because corporations have important tax advantages over proprietorships and partnerships. most business (measured by dollar sales) is conducted by corporations in spite of large corporationsâ€™ often less favorable tax treatment, due to legal considerations related to ownership transfers and limited liability.

Calculate the cost of each capital component—in other words, the after-tax cost of debt, the cost of preferred stock (including flotation costs), and the cost of equity (ignoring flotation costs). use both the capm method and the dividend growth approach to find the cost of equity. calculate the cost of new stock using the dividend growth approach. what is the cost of new common stock based on the capm? (hint: find the difference between re and rs as determined by the dividend growth approach and then add that difference to the capm value for rs.)assuming that gao will not issue new equity and will continue to use the same target capital structure, what is the company’s wacc? e. suppose gao is evaluating three projects with the following characteristics. each project has a cost of $1 million. they will all be financed using the target mix of long-term debt, preferred stock, and common equity. the cost of the common equity for each project should be based on the beta estimated for the project. all equity will come from reinvested earnings. equity invested in project a would have a beta of 0.5 and an expected return of 9.0%.equity invested in project b would have a beta of 1.0 and an expected return of 10.0%.equity invested in project c would have a beta of 2.0 and an expected return of 11.0%.analyze the company’s situation, and explain why each project should be accepted or rejected g
