Ganado's Cost of Capital. Maria Gonzalez, Ganado's Chief Financial Officer, estimates the risk-free rate to be 4.00%, the company's credit risk premium is 3.60%, the domestic beta is estimated at 0.94, the international beta is estimated at 0.64, and the company's capital structure is now 45% debt. The expected rate of return on the market portfolio held by a well-diversified domestic investor is 9.60% and the expected return on a larger globally integrated equity market portfolio is 8.40%. The before-tax cost of debt estimated by observing the current yield on Ganado's outstanding bonds combined with bank debt is 7.80% and the company's effective tax rate is 42%. For both the domestic CAPM and ICAPM, calculate the following: a. Ganado's cost of equity b. Ganado's after-tax cost of debt c. Ganado's weighted average cost of capital ... a. Using the domestic CAPM, what is Ganado's cost of equity? % (Round to two decimal places.)

Suppose Alcatel-Lucent has an equity cost of capital of 10.3%, market capitalization of $9.36 billion, and an enterprise value of $13 billion. Assume that Alcatel-Lucent's debt cost of capital is 7.3%, its marginal tax rate is 34%, the WACC is 8.7650%, and it maintains a constant debt-equity ratio. The firm has a project with average risk. The expected free cash flow, levered value, and debt capacity are as follows: Thus, the NPV of the project calculated using the WACC method is $182.73 million - $100 million = $82.73 million. a. What is Alcatel-Lucent's unlevered cost of capital? b. What is the unlevered value of the project? c. What are the interest tax shields from the project? What is their present value? d. Show that the APV of Alcatel-Lucent's project matches the value computed using the WACC method. a. What is Alcatel-Lucent's unlevered cost of capital? Alcatel-Lucent's unlevered cost of capital is%.

A company is estimating its optimal capital structure. Now the company has a capital structure that consists of 20% debt and 80% equity, based on market values (debt to equity D/S ratio is 0.25). The risk-free rate (rRF) is 5% and the market risk premium (rM – rRF) is 6%. Currently the company’s cost of equity, which is based on the CAPM, is 14% and its tax rate is 20%.
