Explanation / Answer

Question 14

Price of stock = D1 / K-g

54 = 4*(1.08) / (K-0.08)

K = 16%

Cost of equity = 16%

Cost of debt = 9% (1-0.34)

After tax cost of debt = 5.9%

Cost of capital of firm is the WACC

Therefore, the cost of capital is 11.96%

Question 15

The increase in operating income as a result of increase in sale of 7% is 11.2%

Thus we see that the operating income/EBIT has increased by $280000 which is by 11.2%

Cost Weight Weighted cost (cost*weight) Equity 16% 0.6 0.096 Debt 5.90% 0.4 0.0236 Total 11.96%
