问题如下:
Company M now is all equity-financed and the cost of capital is 12%. EBIT of Company M is $0.6 million. Management is considering changing the capital structure so they intend to issue 2 million new debt to repurchase outstanding shares. The tax rate is 30% and the before-tax cost of debt is 8%. What’s the cost of equity after changing the capital structure according to the MM`s proposition with tax?
选项: 17.60%
15.73%
C.14.67%
解释:
C is correct.
考点:Capital Structure Theory: with tax
解析: = $3.5 million
VL = VU + T*D = 3.5 + 30%*2 = $4.1 million
E = VL –D = 4.1 – 2 = $2.1 million
根据公式
= 12% + (12% -8%) * (1-30%) * (2/2.1) = 14.67%
在原来全投资的情况下Equity=0.6/12%=5, 债券回购股票2million,这样Equity就是3million,而不是答案的2.1million,想知道思路哪里错了?
