Ch,12 - Cost of Capital
? For Investors,the rate of return on a
security is a benefit of investing,
? For Financial Managers,that same
rate of return is a cost of raising funds
that are needed to operate the firm,
? In other words,the cost of raising
funds is the firm’s cost of capital,
How can the firm raise capital?
? Bonds
? Preferred Stock
? Common Stock
? Each of these offers a rate of return to
investors,
? This return is a cost to the firm,
?,Cost of capital” actually refers to the
weighted cost of capital - a weighted
average cost of financing sources,
Cost of
Debt
Cost of Debt
For the issuing firm,the cost
of debt is,
? the rate of return required
by investors,
? adjusted for flotation costs
(any costs associated with
issuing new bonds),and
? adjusted for taxes,
Example,Tax effects of
financing with debt
with stock with debt
EBIT 400,000 400,000
- interest expense 0 (50,000)
EBT 400,000 350,000
- taxes (34%) (136,000) (119,000)
EAT 264,000 231,000
Example,Tax effects of

EBIT 400,000 400,000

EBT 400,000 350,000
- taxes (34%) (136,000) (119,000)
EAT 264,000 231,000
? Now,suppose the firm pays $50,000 in
dividends to the stockholders,
Example,Tax effects of
financing with debt

EBIT 400,000 400,000
- interest expense 0 (50,000)
EBT 400,000 350,000
- taxes (34%) (136,000) (119,000)
EAT 264,000 231,000
- dividends (50,000) 0
Retained earnings 214,000 231,000

Example,Cost of Debt
? Prescott Corporation issues a $1,000
par,20 year bond paying the market
rate of 10%,Coupons are
semiannual,The bond will sell for
par since it pays the market rate,but
flotation costs amount to $50 per
bond,
? What is the pre-tax and after-tax cost
of debt for Prescott Corporation?
? Pre-tax cost of debt,(using TVM)
P/Y = 2 N = 40
PMT = -50
FV = -1000
PV = 950
solve,I = 10.61% = kd
? After-tax cost of debt,
Kd = kd (1 - T)
Kd =,1061 (1 -,34)
Kd =,07 = 7%
? Pre-tax cost of debt,(using TVM)
P/Y = 2 N = 40
PMT = -50
FV = -1000 So,a 10% bond
PV = 950 costs the firm
solve,I = 10.61% = kd only 7% (with
? After-tax cost of debt,flotation costs)
Kd = kd (1 - T) since the interest
Kd =,1061 (1 -,34) is tax deductible,
Kd =,07 = 7%
Cost of Preferred Stock
? Finding the cost of preferred stock
is similar to finding the rate of
return,(from Chapter 8) except
that we have to consider the
flotation costs associated with
issuing preferred stock,

should be valued at $75 per share,

Cost of Common Stock
? There are 2 sources of Common
Equity,
1) Internal common equity (retained
earnings),and
2) External common equity (new
common stock issue)
Do these 2 sources have the same cost?
Cost of Internal Equity
? Since the stockholders own the firm’s
retained earnings,the cost is simply
the stockholders’ required rate of
return,
? Why?
? If managers are investing
stockholders’ funds,stockholders will
expect to earn an acceptable rate of
return,
