Answers to Problem Sets
1. Market values of debt and equity are:
D = .9 x 75 = $67.5 million
E = 42 x 2.5 = $105 million
D/V = $67.5/(67.5 + 105) = .39
WACC = .09(1 - .35).39 + .18(.61) = .1325, or 13.25%

Step 1: r = .09(.39) + .18(.61) = .145.


Step 2: rD = .086, rE = .145 + (.145 - .086)(15/85) = .155.
Step 3: WACC = .086(1 - .35).15 + .155(.85) = .14.

No. The more debt you use, the higher rate of return equity investors will
require. (Lenders may demand more also.) Thus there is a hidden cost of the
cheap debt: It makes equity more expensive.

Patagonia does not have 90% debt capacity. KCS is borrowing $45 million partly
on the strength of its existing assets. Also the decision to raise bank finance for
the purchase does not mean that KCS has changed its target debt ratio. An APV
valuation of Patagonia would probably assume a 50% debt ratio.

We make three adjustments to the balance sheet:


Ignore deferred taxes; this is an accounting entry and represents neither a
liability nor a source of funds.
Net out accounts payable against current assets.
Use the market value of equity (7.46 million x $46).
Now the right-hand side of the balance sheet (in thousands) is:
Short-term debt
Long-term debt
Shareholders equity
Total

$75,600
208,600
343,160
$627,360

The after-tax weighted-average cost of capital formula, with one element for each
source of funding, is:
WACC = [rD ST (1 Tc) (D-ST/V)] + [rD LT (1 Tc) (D LT/V)] + [rE (E/V)]
WACC = [0.06 (1 0.35) (75,600/627,360)] + [0.08 (1 0.35)
(208,600/627,360)]
+ [0.15 (343,160/627,360)]

Assume that short-term debt is temporary. From Problem 14:


Long-term debt
Shareholder equity
Total

$208,600
343,160
$551,760

Therefore:
D/V = $208,600/$551,760 = 0.378
E/V = $343,160/$551,760 = 0.622
Step 1:
r = rD (D/V) + rE (E/V) = (0.08 0.378) + (0.15 0.622) = 0.1235
Step 2:
rE = r + (r rD) (D/E) = 0.1235 + (0.1235 0.08) 0.403 = 0.1410
Step 3:
WACC = [rD (1 TC) (D/V)] + [rE (E/V)]
= (0.08 0.65 0.287) + (0.1410 0.713) = 0.1155 = 11.55%

APV = $50,000 + $98,000 = $48,000.

The present value of the tax shield is higher when the debt is fixed and
therefore the tax shield is certain. When borrowing a constant proportion of
the market value of the project, the interest tax shields are as uncertain as

The immediate source of funds (i.e., both the proportion borrowed and the
expected return on the stocks sold) is irrelevant. The project would not be any
more valuable if the university sold stocks offering a lower return. If borrowing
is a zero-NPV activity for a tax-exempt university, then base-case NPV equals
APV, and the adjusted cost of capital r* equals the opportunity cost of capital
with all-equity financing. Here, base-case NPV is negative; the university
should not invest.

Note the following:

The costs of debt and equity are not 8.5% and 19%, respectively. These
figures assume the issue costs are paid every year, not just at issue.
The fact that Bunsen can finance the entire cost of the project with debt is
irrelevant. The cost of capital does not depend on the immediate source of
funds; what matters is the projects contribution to the firms overall
borrowing power.
The project is expected to support debt in perpetuity. The fact that the first
debt issue is for only 20 years is irrelevant.

Assume the project has the same business risk as the firms other assets.
Because it is a perpetuity, we can use the firms weighted-average cost of capital.
If we ignore issue costs:
WACC = [rD (1 TC) (D/V)] + [rE (E/V)]
WACC = [0.07 (1 0.35) 0.4] + [0.14 0.6] = 0.1022 = 10.22%
Using this discount rate:
NPV $1,000,000

$130,000
$272,016
0.1022

The issue costs are:


Stock issue:
Bond issue:

0.050 $1,000,000 = $50,000


0.015 $1,000,000 = $15,000

Debt is clearly less expensive. Project NPV net of issue costs is reduced to:
($272,016 $15,000) = $257,016. However, if debt is used, the firms debt ratio
will be above the target ratio, and more equity will have to be raised later. If debt
financing can be obtained using retaining earnings, then there are no other issue
costs to consider. If stock will be issued to regain the target debt ratio, an
additional issue cost is incurred.
A careful estimate of the issue costs attributable to this project would require a
comparison of Bunsens financial plan with as compared to without this project.

Disagree. The Goldensacks calculations are based on the assumption that the
cost of debt will remain constant and that the cost of equity capital will not
change even though the firms financial structure has changed. The former
assumption is appropriate while the latter is not.

Fixed debt levels, without rebalancing, are not necessarily better for
stockholders. Note that, when the debt is rebalanced, next years interest tax
shields are fixed and, thus, discounted at a lower rate. The following years
interest is not known with certainty for one year and, hence, is discounted for one
year at the higher risky rate and for one year at the lower rate. This is much
more realistic since it recognizes the uncertainty of future events.

year and discount at the nominal rate of 1.081.04 1 = .123 or 12.3%.

APV = 17.4 + 4.7 = + $HK22.1. Notice that the interest payments are nominal
and can be discounted at the 7.5% cost of debt. Also the ratio of debt to APV,
including investment, is 50/122.1 = .4095 or 41%.

b. The following table sets debt service as a growing annuity, starting at $HK6.21
million and growing at the rate of inflation. The PV of debt service is $HK50, so
the debt is paid off at the end of year 10. The PV of interest tax shields increases
to $HK7.3. APV = 17.4 + 7.3 = $HK24.3.

Assume a 41% market-value debt ratio and a D/E ratio of 41/59 = .695 or 69.5%.
The nominal cost of equity is rE = 12.3 + (12.3 7.5).695 = 15.6%. WACC =
7.5 (1 - .3).41 + 15.6.59 = 11.4%. The cash flows are a 10-year annuity
growing at 4%. PV, using the growing annuity formula from Ch. 4, is $HK117.6.
This procedure assumes that debt remains at 41% of project value throughout
the projects economic life.
d. Just subtract $HK4 million from project value.

Just calculate the NPVs of the loans and add the NPVs to the APVs of the
projects that the loans support. Discount after-tax debt service (at the belowmarket rates) at the after-tax market borrowing rate. See the Appendix to this
chapter.

1.

The award is risk free because it is owed by the U.S. government. The after-tax
amount of the award is: 0.65 $16 million = $10.40 million.
The after-tax discount rate is: 0.65 0.055 = 0.03575 = 3.575%.
The present value of the award is: $10.4 million/1.03575 = $10.04 million.

2.

The after-tax cash flows are: 0.65 $100,000 = $65,000 per year.
The after-tax discount rate is: 0.65 0.09 = 0.0585 = 5.85%.
The present value of the lease is equal to the present value of a five-year annuity
of $65,000 per year plus the immediate $65,000 payment:
$65,000 [annuity factor, 5.85%, 5 years] + $65,000 =
($65,000 4.2296) + $65,000 = $339,924
