I have A Question About Weighted Average Cost of Capital?

The "capital" in WACC is based on MARKET values, so you have to determine the market value of the debt.

Value of the coupons:

coupon: 50m(0.04 / 2 semi-annual periods per year) = 1m

use PV ordinary annuity to value the coupons

PVoa = PMT[(1 - (1 / (1 + r)^n)) / r]

r = 0.0423 / 2 = 0.02115

n = 15 yrs * 2 times per year = 30

PVoa = 1m{(1 - (1 / 1.02115^30)) / 0.02115]

= 1m[(1 - 0.53372) / 0.02115]

= 1m[0.46628 / 0.02115]

=1m[22.04632]

=22,046,319.89

Add PV of par

50m / 1.02115^30

= 26,686,016.72

Add together to get price: $48,732,336.61

Use that figure for the debt portion to calculate the total capital, and the weight of debt in the capital structure.

Value of equity...

Price per share (Gordon growth model): P0 = D1 / (r - g)

P0 = 2.50 / (0.10 - 0.04)

= $41.67 (rounded) per share * 1m shares = total equity

I'm guessing you know how to do the rest? If not, email me via YA.

Nindo’s Company has a capital structure with debt and equity. Debt - $50 million face value bonds maturing in 15 years with a coupon rate of 4% paid semi-annually. The yield to maturity on these bonds is 4.23%.

Equity - There are 1,000,000 shares outstanding. The investor's return is 10%. The next dividend is $2.5 with a growth rate of 4% into the future.

Tax rate is 35%.

Calculate Nindo’s WACC.

Its just a homework question for practice for my midterm, but I just dont understand the debt portion about face value bonds.
