The Debentures are redeemable after 10 years at a premium of 10%. Y. Ltd. issues 14% preference shares of face value Rs. 100 each Rs. 92 per share. The shares are repayable after 12 years at par. Note: Both companies are paying income tax at 50%. Solution (i) Cost of Debt [Int + (RV – SV) / N] (1 – t) kd (RV + SV) / 2 Int t RV N SV = = = = = Annual interest to be paid i.e. Rs. 12 Company’s effective tax rate i.e. 50% or 0.50 Redemption value per Debenture i.e. Rs. 110 Number of years to maturity = 10 years issue price per debenture minus floatation cost i.e. Rs. 95 [12 + (110 – 95) / 10] (1 – .5) kd = (110 + 95) / 2 [12 + 2.5](0.5) = 97.50 7.25 = 7.43% 97.50 = (ii) Cost of preference capital D + (RV – SV) / N kp (RV + SV) / 2 Where, D = SV = N = RV = Dividend on Preference share i.e. Rs. 14 Issue Price per share minus floatation cost Rs. 92 No. of years for redemption i.e. 12 years Net price payable on redemption Rs. 100 Rushi Ahuja 1 FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT Solved Problems 14 (100 – 92) / 12 kp = (110 + 95) / 2 14 + .67 = 95 = 15.28% Problem 2 a) A company raised preference share capital of Rs. 1,00,000 by the issue of 10% preference share of Rs. 10 each. Find out the cost of preference share capital when it is issued at (i) 10% premium, and (ii) 10% discount. b) A company has 10% redeemable preference share which are redeemable at 6the end of 10th year from the date of issue. The underwriting expenses are expected to 2%. Find out the effective cost of preference share capital. c) The entire share capital of a company consist of 1,00,000 equity share of Rs. 100 each. Its current earnings are Rs. 10,00,000 p.a. The company wants to raise additional funds of Rs. 25,00,000 by issuing new shares. The flotation cost is expected to be 10% of the face value. Find out the cost of equity capital given that the earnings are expected to remain same for coming years. Solution (a) Cost of 10% preference share capital (i) When share of Rs. 10 is issued at 10% premium Kp = D / P0 = 10 / 11 x 100 = 9.09% (ii) When share of Rs. 10 is issued at 10% discount kp = PD / P0 = 10 / 9 x 100 = 11.11% (b) The cost of preference share (face value = Rs. 100) may be found as follows: D + (RV – SV) / N kp = (RV+ SV) / 2 Rushi Ahuja 2 FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT In this case D RV SV = = = 10 100 100 – 2 = Rs. 98 10 + (100 – 98) / 10 kp = (100 + 98) / 2 = 10.3% Solved Problems (c) In this case, the net proceeds on issue of equity shares are Rs. 100 – 10 = Rs. 90 and earnings per share is Rs. 10. Cost of new equity is: ke = = Problem 3 A company is considering raising of funds of about Rs. 100 lakhs by one of two alternative method, viz., 14% institutional term loan or 13% non-convertible debentures. The term loan option would attract no major incidental cost. The debentures would have to be issued at a discount of 2.5% and would involve cost of issue of Rs. 1,00,000. Advise the company as to the better option based on the effective cost of capital in each case. Assume a tax rate of 50%. Solution Effective cost of 14% loan: In this case, there is no other cost involved and the company has to pay interest at 14%. This interest after tax shield @ 50% comes to 7% only. D1 / p0 10 / 90 11.% Effective cost of 13% NCD : In this case, Annual Interest, I SV = = = Rs. 13 100 – 2.50 – 1.00 96.50 13 (1 – 5) kd = 96.50% = 6.74% The effective cost of capital is lesser in case of 13% NCD. Rushi Ahuja 3 FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT Problem 4 The following figures are taken from the current balance sheet of Delaware & Co. Capital Share Premium Reserves Shareholder’s funds 12% irredeemable debentures Rs. 8,00,000 2,00,000 6,00,00 16,00,000 4,00,00 Solved Problems An annual ordinary dividend of Rs. 2 per share has just been paid. In the past, ordinary dividends have grown at a rate of 10 per cent per annum and this rate of growth is expected to continue. Annual interest has recently been paid on the debentures. The ordinary shares are currently quoted at Rs. 27.5 and the debentures at 80 per cent. Ignore taxation. You are required to estimate the weighted average cost of capital (based on marker values) for Delaware & Co. Solution In order to calculate the WACC, the specific cost of equity capital and debt capital are to be calculated as follows: D1 ke = P0 +g= Rs. 27.50 Rs. 2 x 1.10 + 10 = 18% The market value of equity is 80,000 x Rs. 27.50 = Rs. 22,00,000 I kd = SV = Rs. 80 Rs. 12 = 15% The market value of debt is 4,00,000 x .80 = Rs. 3,20,000. Now, the WACC is (22,00,000 / 25,20,000) x .18 + (3,20,000/25,20,000) x .15 = .176 = 17.6% Note: In this case, the dividend of Rs. 2 has just been paid. So, D0 = Rs. 2 and the D1, i.e. dividend expected after one year from now will be D0 x (1 + g) = Rs. 2 x 1.10.

It had been paying dividends at a consistent rate of 20% per annum. b) What difference will it make if the current price of the Rs. 100 share is Rs. 160? c) Determine the effect of Income Tax on the cost of capital under both premises (Tax rate 40%). Solution a) Weighted average cost of capital of the company is as follows: Sources of capital Equity share capital 12% debenture Term loan Cost of capital 20% 12% 18% Proportion of total 4/20 4/20 12/20 WACC Weighted cost of capital 4.00 2.40 10.80 17.20 Therefore, weighted cost of capital (without consideration of the market price of Equity and not taking into consideration the effect of Income Tax) is = 17.2% per annum. b) When market price of equity shares is Rs. 160 (Face value Rs. 100), the cost of capital is: D1 ke = p = 12.5% = 160 20 Weighted average cost of capital will therefore be: Sources of capital Equity share capital 12% debenture 18% Term loan Cost of capital 12.5% 12% 18% Proportion of total 4/20 4/20 12/20 WACC Weighted cost of capital 2.5% 2.4% 10.8 15.7% The above WACC is without taking into consideration the effect of Income Tax. c) As interest on debenture and loans is an allowable deductible expenditure for arriving at taxable income, the real cost to the company will be interest charges less tax benefit (assuming that the company earns taxable income). So, interest cost will be : Rate of interest (1 – t) 12% Debenture 18% Term loan : : 12 x 0.60 18 x 0.60 = = 7.2% 10.8% Rushi Ahuja 5 FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT Solved Problems The cost of capital after tax benefit (as per premises – a): Sources Equity 12% debenture 18% Term loan Cost 20% 7.2% 10.8% Proportion 4/20 4/20 12/20 WACC Weighted cost (Rs.) 4.00 1.44 6.48 11.92 The cost of capital after tax benefit (as per premises – b): Sources Equity 12% debenture 18% Term loan Cost Proportion 12.5% 4/20 7.2% 4/20 10.8% 12/20 Weighted average cost= Weighted cost (Rs.) 2.50 1.44 6.48 10.42 Problem 6 The following information is available from the Balance Sheet of a company Equity share capital – 20,000 shares of Rs. 10 each Reserves and Surplus 8% Debentures Rs. 2,00,000 Rs. 1,30,000 Rs. 1,70,000 The rate of tax for the company is 50%.

As the current market price of equity share is not given, the cost of capital of equity share has been taken with reference to the rate of dividend and the face value of the share. So, ke = 12/100 = 12%. Rushi Ahuja 6 FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT Solved Problems The opportunity cost of retained earnings is the dividends foregone by shareholders. Therefore, the firm must earn the same rate of return on retained earnings as on the Equity Share Capital. Thus, the minimum cost of retained earnings is the cost of equity capital i.e. kr = ke. Problem 7 A Limited has the following capital structure: Equity share capital (2,00,000 shares) 6% preference shares 8% Debentures Rs. 40,00,000 10,00,000 30,00,000 80,00,000 The market price of the company’s equity share is Rs. 20. It is expected that company will pay a dividend of Rs. 2 per share at the end of current year, which will grow at 7 per cent for ever. The tax rate may be presumed at 50 per cent. You are required to compute the following: a) A weighted average cost of capital based on existing capital structure. b) The new weighted average cost of capital if the company raises an additional Rs. 20,00,000 debt by issuing 10 per cent debentures. The would result in increasing the expected dividend to Rs. 3 and leave the growth rate unchanged but the price of share will fall to Rs. 15 per share. c) The cost of capital if in (b) above, growth rate increases to 10 per cent. Solutions a) The cost of equity capital is D1 ke = P0 = +g= Rs. 20 Rs. 2 + 0.07 0.1 + 0.07 = .17 or 17% The cost of 8% debentures, after tax is 8 (1 – 5) = 4% STATEMENT SHOWING WEIGHTED COST OF CAPITAL Existing Amt. 40,00,000 10,00,000 30,00,000 After-tax Cost .17 .06 .04 Weights .500 .125 .375 Weighted cost .0850 .0075 .0150 .1075 Equity share capital Preference share capital Debentures So, Weighted Average cost of capital (K0) is 10.75% b) D1 ke = P0 +g= Rs. 15 Rushi Ahuja 7 Rs. 3 + .07 FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT Solved Problems = .20 + 0.7 = .27 or 27% The cost of capital of new debenture (after tax) is 10% (1 - .5) = 5% STATEMENT OF SHOWING WEIGHTED AVERAGE COST OF CAPITAL Amt.
