An Overview of the Cost of
Capital
 The cost of capital acts as a link between the
firm’s long-term investment decisions and the
wealth of the owners as determined by investors
in the marketplace.
 It is the “magic number” that is used to decide
whether a proposed investment will increase or
decrease the firm’s stock price.
 Formally, the cost of capital is the rate of return
that a firm must earn on the projects in which
it invests to maintain the market value of its
stock.

The Firm’s Capital Structure
11-5
Some Key Assumptions
 Business Risk—the risk to the firm of being unable to cover
operating costs—is assumed to be unchanged. This means that
the acceptance of a given project does not affect the firm’s ability
to meet operating costs.
 Financial Risk—the risk to the firm of being unable to cover
required financial obligations—is assumed to be unchanged.
This means that the projects are financed in such a way that the
firm’s ability to meet financing costs is unchanged.
 After-tax costs are considered relevant—the cost of capital is
measured on an after-tax basis.

The Basic Concept (cont.)
 Why do we need to determine a company’s
overall “weighted average cost of capital?”
 Over the long haul, the firm must undertake
investments that maximize firm value.
 This can only be achieved if it undertakes
projects that provide returns in excess of the
firm’s overall weighted average cost of
financing (or WACC).
11-7
Specific Sources of Capital:
The Cost of Long-Term Debt
 The pretax cost of debt is equal to the yield-to-maturity
on the firm’s debt adjusted for flotation costs.
 Recall that a bond’s yield-to-maturity depends upon a
number of factors including the bond’s coupon rate,
maturity date, par value, current market conditions, and
selling price.
 After obtaining the bond’s yield, a simple adjustment
must be made to account for the fact that interest is a
tax-deductible expense.
 This will have the effect of reducing the cost of debt.

11-9
Brian Clara, a major Sport Goods Manufacturer, is
contemplating selling $10 million worth of 20-year, 9% coupon
bonds with a par value of $1,000. Because current market
interest rates are greater than 9%, the firm must sell the bonds
at $980 (Discount Bond). Flotation costs are 2% or $20. The
net proceeds to the firm for each bond is therefore $960 ($980
- $20).

 This approach finds the before-tax cost of debt
by calculating the internal rate of return (IRR).
 As discussed in earlier in the text, YTM can be
calculated using: (a) trial and error, (b) a
financial calculator, or (c) a spreadsheet.

Find the after-tax cost of debt for Duchess
assuming it has a 40% tax rate:
ri = 9.4% (1-.40) = 5.6%
This suggests that the after-tax cost of raising
debt capital for Duchess is 5.6%.

The Cost of Preferred Stock
11-15
Duchess Corporation is contemplating the issuance of a
10% preferred stock that is expected to sell for its $87-per
share value. The cost of issuing and selling the stock is
expected to be $5 per share. The dividend is $8.70 (10%
x $87). The net proceeds price (Np) is $82 ($87 - $5).
rP = DP/Np = $8.70/$82 = 10.6%
