• (1 - 0.5) 10% = 5%
Practice Example
• A company issue 12% irredeemable
debentures of Rs. 20,000. The company is in
60% tax bracket. Calculate cost of debt capital
at par, at 10% discount and at 10% premium
• A company issue 10% irredeemable
debentures of Rs. 30,000. The company is in
40% tax bracket. Calculate cost of debt capital
at par, at 5% discount and at 5% premium
Sol:
Kd = I +(P –NP)/n *100
(P +NP)/2
= 2500 + ( 25,000 – 25,462.5)/10 *100
(25,000+25,462.5)/2
= 0.09725*100
Kd(Before tax)=9.725%
Kd(After tax)= =9.725% (1-0.5) = 4.863%
NP = 250*105 – 3% *(250*105)
= 26,250 - 787.5 = 25,462.5
Sums
• Problem 1:
A company raised a loan by selling 400 debentures with an 8% rate
of interest at a discount of Rs. 10 per debenture (Par value = Rs.
100), redeemable at the end of the 7th year. Underwriting and
other issuance costs amounted to 2% of the proceeds. The tax rate
is 40%. Calculate the cost of debt capital.
• Problem 2:
A company issued 500 debentures with a 12% interest rate at a
premium of Rs. 15 per debenture (Par value = Rs. 100), redeemable
at the end of the 5th year. Underwriting and other issuance costs
amounted to 1.5% of the proceeds. The tax rate is 30%. Calculate
the cost of debt capital.
Solution Problem 1
Sol:
Net Proceeds:
•Issued at a discount of Rs. 10, so issue price per debenture = Rs. 100 - Rs. 10 = Rs. 90
•Total proceeds before costs = 400 debentures × Rs. 90 = Rs. 36,000
•Issuance costs = 2% of Rs. 36,000 = Rs. 720
•Net Proceeds = Rs. 36,000 - Rs. 720 = Rs. 35,280
The cost of equity capital represents the return required by
equity investors for investing in a company. It can be estimated
using various methods, such as the Dividend Discount Model
(DDM) and the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM). Let's
explore these methods with a brief explanation:
Example 1
A company's stock has a beta of 0.8. The risk-free
rate is 3%, and the expected return on the market
is 9%. Calculate the cost of equity capital using the
CAPM formula.
Example 2
A company's stock has a beta of 1.5. The risk-free
rate is 5%, and the expected return on the market
is 12%. Calculate the cost of equity capital using
the CAPM formula.
