Q.2) From the following information, determine the appropriate weighted average cost of capital,
relevant for evaluating long-term investment projects of the company.
Cost of equity 0.18
After tax cost of long- 0.08
term debt
After tax cost of 0.09
short-term debt
Cost of Reserve 0.15
Q.3) Determine the weighted average cost of capital using (i) book value weights; and (ii) market
value weights based on the following information:
Amount in Millions
Equity share (Face value = 10) 240
Reserves 360
11% Preference Shares (Face value = Rs.10) 120
12% Debentures 120
14% Term Loans 360
1,200
The debentures are redeemable after 3 years and interest is paid annually. Ignoring flotation
costs, calculate the company’ weighted average cost of capita (WACC).

Ordinary Shares 20 50
Reserves 10
Preference Shares 10 15
Debt 60 45
a) The firm’s debenture has face Value Rs 100 Coupen rate 13% and floatation cost is 3% and will
be redeemed after 10 years at premium of 5%
b) Rs 100 preference Shares with 11% dividend rate and will be redeemed at par after 10 years
c) The ordinary shares of the firm is selling for Rs 180 and the firm is expected to pay a dividend of
Rs 15 and the dividend payment would grow at rate of 5%
Calculate WACC using both book value and market value method
