* ki = cost of component i

* Interest paid on corporate debt is tax-

Dexter’s target capital structure is as follows:
wd = 0.45
wps = 0.05
wce = 0.50
*
By preference
* Target capital structure. Use market values.
*
The market values of a firm’s capital are as follows:
*
By preference
1. Use yield-to-maturity over coupon rate.
*
* Assume: Non-callable, non-convertible
*
* Required return on the firm’s common stock
* 3 estimation methods
* Capital Asset Pricing Method (CAPM) approach
* Dividend discount model (DDM) approach
* Bond yield plus risk premium approach
*
CAPM Approach
* kce = RFR + β[E(Rm) – RFR]
* Inputs
* Risk-free rate (RFR): Short-term Treasury bill rate
OR long-term Treasury bill rate
*
Suppose RFR = 6%, Rmkt = 11% and Dexter has a
beta of 1.1. Estimate Dexter’s cost of equity.
*
DDM Approach
* Valuing a common stock
* P0 = D1 / (kce – g)
* Therefore: kce = (D1 / P0) + g
* Assumption: Dividends are expected to grow at a
constant rate, g.
*
Suppose Dexter’s stock sells for P 21.00, next
year’s dividend is expected to be P 1.00,
Dexter’s expected ROE is 12%, and Dexter is
expected to pay out 40% of its earnings. What is
Dexter’s cost of equity?
*
Bond yield plus risk premium approach
* Analysts add a risk premium (3 to 5 percentage
points) to the market yield on the firm’s long-
term debt.
*
Dexter’s interest rate on long-term debt is 8%.
Suppose the risk premium is estimated to be 5%.
Estimate Dexter’s cost of equity.
