    The Cost of Capital

    Learning Objectives

    1. Explain what the weighted average cost of capital for a firm is and why it is often sed

    as a discont rate to evalate projects.

    !. Calclate the cost of debt for a firm.

    3. Calclate the cost of common stoc" and the cost of preferred stoc" for a firm.

    #. Calclate the weighted average cost of capital for a firm$ explain the limitations of sing

    a firm%s weighted average cost of capital as the discont rate when evalating a project$

    and discss the alternatives that are available.

    &. Chapter Otline

    13.1 The 'irm%s Overall Cost of Capital

    Since unique riskcan be eliminated by holding a diversified portfolio, systematic riskis

    the only risk that investors require compensation for bearing.

    We concluded in Chapter 7 that we could rely on the CA! to arrive at the e"pected rate

    of return for a particular investment.

    #n this chapter, we address the practical concerns that can make that concept difficult

    to implement.

    $irms do not issue publicly traded shares for individual pro%ects.

    As a result, firms have no way to directly estimate the discount rate that

    reflects the risk of the incremental cash flows from a particular pro%ect.

    $inancial managers deal with this problem by estimating the cost of capital for

    the firm as a whole and then requiring analysts within the firm to use this cost of

    capital to discount the cash flows for all pro%ects.

    o A problem with this approach is that it ignores the fact that a firm is

    really a collection of pro%ects with varying levels of risk.

    A. The Finance Balance Sheet

    &he finance balance sheet is based on market values rather than book values.

    &he total book value of the assets reported on an accounting balance sheet does

    not necessarily reflect the total market value of those assets since the book

    value is largely based on historical costs, while the total market value of the

    assets equals the present value of the total cash flows that those assets are

    e"pected to generate in the future.

    &he left'hand side of the accounting balance sheet reports the book values of a firm(s

    assets, while the right'hand side reports how those assets were financed.

    &he value of the claims that investors hold must equal the value of the cash flows that they

    have a right to receive.

    &his is because the total market value of the debt and the equity at a firm equals the

    present value of the cash flows that the debt holders and the stockholders have the

    right to receive.

    B. How Firms Estimate Their Cost of Capital

    #f analysts at a firm could estimate the betas for each of the firm(s individual

    pro%ects, they could estimate the beta for the entire firm as a weighted average

    of the betas for the individual pro%ects.

    o nfortunately, because analysts are not typically able to estimate

    betas for individual pro%ects, they generally cannot use this

    approach.

  • 8/14/2019 PK13 Notes

    4/24

    o #nstead, analysts must use their knowledge of the finance balance

    sheet, along with the concept of market efficiency, to estimate the

    cost of capital for the firm.

    -ather than perform the calculations for the individual projectsrepresented on

    the left'hand side of the finance balance sheet, analysts perform a similar set of

    calculations for the different types of financingdebt and equity/ on the right'

    hand side of the finance balance sheet.

    o As long as they can estimate the cost of each type of financing by

    observing that cost in the capital markets, they can compute the cost

    of capital for the firm by using the following equation0

    firm, then we can use the above to arrive at the weighted average

    &he appropriate discount rate to use when evaluating a capital budgeting pro%ect depends largelyon the risk of the pro%ect. &he new pro%ect will have a positive 6) only if its return e"ceedswhat the financial markets offer on investments of similar risk. We called this minimum requiredreturn the cost of capitalassociated with the pro%ect. &he weighted average cost of capital

    WACC/ is the cost of capital for the firm as a whole, and it can be interpreted as the requiredreturn on the overall firm. #n discussing the WACC, we will recognie the fact that a firm willnormally raise capital in a variety of forms and that these different forms of capital may havedifferent costs associated with them. &a"es are an important consideration in determining therequired return on an investment, because we are always interested in valuing the afterta" cash flowsfrom a pro%ect. We will therefore discuss how to incorporate ta"es e"plicitly into our estimates of thecost of capital.

  • 8/14/2019 PK13 Notes

    An accurate estimate of the cost of capital is important for various reasons0

    good capital budgeting decisions 8 neither the 6) rule nor the #-- rule can beimplemented without knowledge of the appropriate discount rate.

    financing decisions 8 the optimal9target capital structure minimies the cost of capital.

    operating decisions 8 cost of capital is used by regulatory agencies in order to determinethe :fair; return in some regulated industries e.g. electric utilities/.

    -equired -eturn versus Cost of Capital0 Cost of capital, required return, and

    appropriate discount rate are different phrases that all refer to the opportunity cost ofusing capital in one way as opposed to alternative financial market investments of thesame systematic risk. ,e-ired retrnis from an investor(s point of view< cost ofcapitalis the same return from the firm(s point of view< appropriate discont rate

    is the same return used in a ) calculation.

    The cost of capital depends primarily on the se of the fnds$ not the sorce.

    The investment decisions of the firm are separate from the financing decisions.

    $inancial olicy and Cost of Capital0 &he particular mi"ture of debt and equity a firm

    chooses to employ is referred to as its capital strctre< this is a managerial variable.$or now, we will take the firm=s financial policy as given. #n particular, we willassume that the firm has a fi"ed debt'equity ratio that it maintains. &his ratio reflects

    the firm=s target or optimal capital structure. >iven that a firm uses both debt andequity capital, this overall cost of capital will be a mi"ture of the returns needed tocompensate its creditors and its stockholders. #n other words, a firm=s cost of capitalwill reflect both its cost of debt capital and its cost of equity capital.

    13.! The Cost of ebt

    Analysts often cannot directly observe the rate of return that investors require for a

    particular type of financing and instead must rely on the security prices they can

    observe in the financial markets to estimate that required rate.

  • 8/14/2019 PK13 Notes

    6/24

    o #t makes sense to rely on security prices only if you believe that the financial

    markets are reasonably efficient at incorporating new information into these

    prices.

    o #f the markets were not efficient, estimates of e"pected returns that were based

    on market security prices would be unreliable.

    A. Key Concepts for Estimating the Cost of Debt

    With regard to the cost associated with each type of debt that a firm uses when

    we estimate the cost of capital for a firm, we are particularly interested in the

    cost of the firm(s long'term debt.

    When we refer to debt we usually mean the debt that, when it was

    borrowed, was set to mature in more than one year.

    4ebt with a maturity of more than one year can typically be viewed as

    permanent debt because firms often borrow the money to pay off this debt

    when it matures.

    &he cost of a firm(s long'term debt are estimated on the date on which the

    analysis is done.

    &his is important because the interest rate or historical interest rate

    determined at the time of original debt issuance/ that the firm is paying

    on its outstanding debt does not necessarily reflect its current cost of

    debt.

    &he current cost of long'term debt is the appropriate cost of debt for WACC

    calculations.

  • 8/14/2019 PK13 Notes

    7/24

    &his is the relevant cost because the WACC is the opportunity cost of

    capital for the firm(s investors as of today.

    B. Estimating the Current Cost of a Bon or an !utstaning "oan

    &he current cost of debt for a publicly traded bond is the yield'to'maturity

    calculation.

    o &o estimate this cost, we first convert the bond data to reflect semiannual

    compounding as well as account for the effective annual interest rate

    5A-/ to account for the actual current annual cost of the debt.

    We must also account for the cost of issuing the bond?issuance

    costs using the net proceeds that the company receives for the bond

    rather than the price that is paid by the investor.

    $or the current cost of long'term bank or other private debt, the firm may simply

    call its banker and ask what rate the bank would charge if it decided to refinance

    the debt today.

    C. Ta#es an the Cost of Debt

    $irms can deduct interest payments for ta" purposes.

    &he after'ta" cost of interest payments equals the preta" cost times 1 minus the ta"

    rate0 k4ebt after'ta"* k4ebt preta"1 8 t/

    D. Estimating the Cost of Debt for a Firm

  • 8/14/2019 PK13 Notes

    8/24

    &o estimate the firm(s overall cost of debt when it has several debt issues

    outstanding, we must first estimate the costs of the individual debt issues and then

    calculate a weighted average of these costs.

    nlike a firm=s cost of equity, its cost of debt can normally be observed either directly orindirectly, because the cost of debt is simply the interest rate the firm must pay on newborrowing, and we can observe interest rates in the financial markets. $or e"ample, if the firmalready has bonds outstanding, then the yield to maturity on those bonds is the market'requiredrate on the firm=s debt.

    Alternatively, if we knew that the firm=s bonds were rated, say, AA, then we could simply findout what the interest rate on newly issued AA'rated bonds was. 5ither way, there is no need toactually estimate a beta for the debt since we can directly observe the rate we want to know.

    &he coupon rate on the firm=s outstanding debt is irrelevant here. &hat %ust tells us roughly whatthe firm=s cost of debt was back when the bonds were issued, not what the cost of debt is today.&his is why we have to look at the yield on the debt in today=s marketplace.

    13.3 The Cost of E-ity

    &he cost of equity for a firm is a weighted average of the costs of the different

    types of stock that the firm has outstanding at a particular point in time.

    A. Common Stoc$

    o Just as information about market rates of return is used to estimate the cost of debt,

    market information is also used to estimate the cost of equity.

    &here are several ways to do this, and the most appropriate approach will

    depend on what information is available and how reliable the analyst believes

    it is.

    o &he te"t discusses three alternative methods for estimating the cost of common stock.

    o /ethod 10 sing the Capital *sset 2ricing /odel (C*2/+

    sing the CA! equation, 5-i/ * -rf+ KiL5-m/ 8 -rfM, we find that the cost

    of common stock equals the risk'free rate of return plus compensation for the

    systematic risk associated with the common stock.

    Some practical considerations must be considered when choosing the

    appropriate risk'free rate, beta, and market risk premium for the above

    calculation.

    &he recommended risk'free rate to use is the risk'free rate on a long'

    term &reasury security because the equity claim is a long'term claim on

    the firm(s cash flows.

  • 8/14/2019 PK13 Notes

    10/24

    o A long'term risk'free rate better reflects long'term inflation

    e"pectations and the cost of getting investors to part with their

    money for a long period of time than a short'term rate.

    @ou can estimate the beta for that stock using a regression analysis.

    o #dentifying the appropriate beta is much more complicated if

    the common stock is not publicly traded.

    o &his problem may be overcome by identifying a :comparable;

    company with publicly traded stock that is in the same business

    and that has a similar amount of debt.

    o When a good comparable company cannot be identified, it is

    sometimes possible to use an average of the betas for the public

    firms in the same industry.

    #t is not possible to directly observe the market risk premium since we

    don(t know what rate of return investors e"pect for the market

    portfolio.

    o $or this reason, financial analysts generally use a measure of the

    average risk premium investors have actually earned in the past

    as an indication of the risk premium they might require today.

    o $rom 1N2O through the end of 2EEO, actual returns on the .S.

    stock market e"ceeded actual returns on long'term .S.

    government bonds by an average of O.1 percent per year.

  • 8/14/2019 PK13 Notes

    11/24

    #f a financial analyst believes that the market risk

    premium in the past is a reasonable estimate of the risk

    premium today, then he or she might use O.1 percent

    or a value close to it/ as the market risk premium for

    the future.

    Ietas are widely available and &'bond or &'bill rates are often used for -f. &he e"pected marketrisk premium, 5-m/ 8 -f, is the more difficult number to come up with. Pne of the problems isthat we really do need an e"pectation, but we only have past information, and market riskpremiums do vary through time. 5arly in 2EEE, $ederal -eserve Chairman, Alan >reenspan,indicated that part of his concern with the current state of the .S. stock markets is the reductionin the market risk premium. Qe felt that investors were either becoming less risk averse, or they

    did not truly understand the risk they were taking by investing in the stock. 6onetheless, thehistorical average is often used as an estimate for the e"pected market risk premium.

    ' &his approach e"plicitly ad%usts for risk in a fashion that is consistent with capital markethistory.' #t is applicable to virtually all publicly'traded stocks for which the value of K can bedetermined.' &he main disadvantage is that the past is not a perfect predictor of the future, and both beta andthe market risk premium vary through time.

    A. "imitations of &ACC as a Discount 'ate for E(aluating %ro)ects

    $inancial theory tells us that the rate that should be used to discount these incremental

    cash flows is the rate that reflects their systematic risk.

    &his means that the WACC is going to be the appropriate discount rate for evaluating

    a pro%ect only when the pro%ect has cash flows with systematic risks that are e"actly

    the same as those for the firm as a whole.

    o When a single rate, such as the WACC, is used to discount cash flows for

    pro%ects with varying levels of risk, the discount rate will be too low in some

    cases and too high in others.

    o When the discount rate is too low, the firm runs the risk of accepting a

    negative'6) pro%ect.

  • 8/14/2019 PK13 Notes

    17/24

    &he estimated 6) will be positive even though the true 6) is

    negative.

    o When the discount rate is too high, the firm runs the risk of re%ecting a

    positive'6) pro%ect.

    &he estimated 6) will be negative even though the true 6) is

    positive.

    &he key point is that it is correct to use a firm(s WACC to discount the cash flows for

    a pro%ect only if the following conditions hold.

    o Condition 10A firm(s WACC should be used to evaluate the cash flows for a

    new pro%ect only if the level of systematic risk for that pro%ect is the same as

    that for the portfolio of pro%ects that currently comprise the firm.

    o Condition !0A firm(s WACC should be used to evaluate a pro%ect only if that

    pro%ect uses the same financing mi"?the same proportions of debt, preferred

    shares, and common shares?used to finance the firm as a whole.

    B. Alternati(es to *sing &ACC for E(aluating %ro)ects

    #f the discount rate for a pro%ect cannot be estimated directly, a financial analyst might

    try to find a public firm that is in a business that is similar to the pro%ect.

    o &his public company would be what financial analysts call a preplay

    comparablebecause it is e"actly like the pro%ect.

    o &his approach is generally not feasible due to the difficulty of finding a public

    firm that is only in the business represented by the pro%ect.

    $inancial managers sometimes classify pro%ects into categories based on their

    systematic risks.
