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: A. 17.60%
B. 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%
如果8%是after tax cost of debt,该如何做?是要先用8%除以1-t,求出税前debt成本再带入公式么?
