of which 50% is paid in dividends. The shareholders expect the company to earn a constant after

Reserve 2,00,000 -
Long-term debt 4,00,000 3,75,000
Short-term debt 1,00,000 1,00,000

Q.3) Determine the weighted average cost of capital using (i) book value weights; and (ii) market
value weights based on the following information:

Book value structure: `


Debentures (Rs 100 per 8,00,000
debenture)
Preference share (Rs100 2,00,000
per share)
Equity shares (Rs 10 per 10,00,000
share)
20,00,000

Recent market prices of all these securities are:


Debentures: Rs 110 per debenture;
Preference share: Rs 120 per share; and
Equity shares: Rs 22 per share
External financing opportunities are:
a. Rs 100 per debenture redeemable at par, 10 year maturity, 13% coupon rate, 4% flotation cost
and sale price Rs 100;
b. Rs 100 per preference share redeemable at par, 10 year maturity, 14% dividend rate, 5%
flotation cost and sale price Rs 100; and
c. Equity share – Rs 2 per share flotation costs and sale price Rs 22 Dividend expected on
equity share at the end of the year is Rs 2 per share; anticipated growth rate in dividend is 7%.
Company pays all its earnings in the form of dividends. Corporate tax rate is 50%.

Q.4) The present capital structure of a company is as follows:

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

Additionally the following information is available:

Company’s equity beta 1.06


Yield on long-term treasury bonds 10%
Stock market risk premium 6%
Current ex-dividend equity share price Rs 15
Current ex-dividend preference share Rs 12
price
Current ex-interest debenture market Rs 102.50 per Rs 100
value
Corporate tax rate 40%

The debentures are redeemable after 3 years and interest is paid annually. Ignoring flotation
costs, calculate the company’ weighted average cost of capita (WACC).

Q.5) Alok Industries has the following capital structure
