What are some things that would cause the WACC to change?

Basically anything that affects the cost the firm is paying for capital. Interest rates could rise or fall, stockholder's could become more rise adverse, tax rates could be changed, the economy could take a upswing, or maybe a major pandemic could arise and play havac on the whole world of business. By the way, these would all be classified as systemic (undiversifiable) risks, because they would affect all businesses. There could also be industry or business specific risks that could affect a firm's WACC. A bad loan deal could lower a firm's ability to attain low interest loans - this would raise the firm's cost of debt. Unethical behavior from the firm's management might give the firm an undiserable reputation, which might make the firm's stock less desirable.

Which of the following statements is true of Capital Budgeting?

Capital budgeting techniques are used to evaluate a firm's fixed asset investments which provide the basis for the firm's earning power and value.

IRR Internal rate of return

Which of the following is true for a bond?

If the YTM is less than the coupon rate, the bond will sell at a premium.

Why is debt considered on an after-tax basis while stock is not?

Interest paid on debt can be tax-deductible while dividends paid to shareholders are NEVER tax deductible.

How does the Investment Opportunity Schedule (IOS) help financial managers make business decisions?

It allows financial managers to examines several projects at once, all ranked by the highest expected returns.

When a bond has a YTM greater than its coupon rate, it sells at a "what"?

It sells at a discount

What is the "weight" referred to in the weighted average cost of capital?

It's the portion of the total capital raised by the firm that comes from a given source such as dept, preferred stock, or common stock equity.

Do all corporations issue preferred stock?

No. Corporations must issue common stock, but preferred stock is not required. Most corporations do NOT have preferred stock.

How is preferred stock similar to a debt obligation?

Preferred stock obligates the firm to pay a fixed dividend to each shareholder, much like interest payments on long-term bonds.

Why would a firm use the CAPM to measure the cost of equity as opposed to the Gordon Growth Model?

The CAPM can be used when firms have dividends that grow at a changing rate, no dividends, or when the firm wants to take market risk into consideration.

What is another name for the Constant Dividend Growth Model

The Gordon Growth Model

When is it appropriate to use the Constant (Gordon) Growth Model to measure the cost of equity?

The Gordon Growth Model is used when corporations pay regular dividends that grow at a constant rate.

What is the Investment Opportunity (IOS)?

The IOS is a list of proposed capital budgeting projects ranked by their expected rate of return.

If a bond is purchased and held to maturity, what is the YTM of the bond?

The YTM would be equal to the original coupon rate of the bond. (When a bond is held to maturity, the price and rate never change).

What is the assumption of the Constant Growth Dividend Model?

The assumption of the dividend growth dividend model is that stock dividends will be paid regularly and grow at a constant rate.

How do you determine (calculate) the cash flow of a bond?

The bond's coupon rate multiplied by the bond's par price ($1000).

What are the main sources of capital for public corporations

The main sources of capital are the sale of long-term bonds, borrowing from lenders, and the sale of stock or use of retained earnings.

What is the Marginal Cost of Capital (MCC), and how is it important in making financial decisions?

The marginal cost of capital (MCC) is the weighted average cost for the firm's next dollar of financing. A firm's weighted average cost of capital changes as the cost of debt or equity increases and as more capital is raised. Financial managers calculate the break points in the capital budget size at which the MCC will change. There will always be an equity break point, which depends on the amount of internal equity available. There may be one or more debt break points, and so on. The financial manager first calculates each WACC and each breakpoint and plots the MCC values on a graph showing how the cost of capital changes as capital budget size changes. The financial manager creates an Investment Opportunity Schedule (IOS) by lining up all potential capital budgeting projects from highest IRR to lowest, and plots the IOS on the same graph with the MCC. To increase the value of the firm, projects on the IOS line that are above the MCC line should be accepted and those below the MCC line rejected. The marginal cost of capital schedule forces financial managers to match the project's rate of return with the cost of funds for that specific project. This marginal analysis prevents financial managers from estimating a project's value incorrectly because of faulty cost of capital estimates that fail to consider how a larger capital budget increases capital costs. By analyzing the combined IOS and MCC schedule together, financial managers can examine many projects together to choose the best combination of projects for the firm.

What is the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) and why is it important?

The weighted average cost of capital, or WACC , is the overall average cost of funds. It takes into consideration each of the component capital costs and the weight of each of those components in the firm's capital structure. To estimate the WACC, you must first calculate the weights (percentages) of each type of capital in the capital structure. For each type of capital, this is calculated as the dollars of that form of capital divided by the total capital being used by the firm. Using those weights, the formula for calculating the WACC is: WACC = (weight of debt * after-tax cost of debt) + (weight of preferred stock * cost of preferred stock) + (weight of common stock * cost of common stock)In order for a firm to make efficient capital budgeting decisions, it must first understand what it is currently paying for its capital. The WACC tells the firm this. The firm only wants to take on projects that will add value. If a project does not have a return that is equal to or greater than the cost of capital, then it will NOT add value to the firm. A project generating less than the WACC will decrease the value of the firm. In other words, the firm must earn a return equal to the WACC in order to pay suppliers of capital the returns they expect.

When does a bond sell at a premium?

When the YTM is less than the coupon rate.

How do you calculate the yield on preferred stock?

Y = Dividend / Price

______ __ _____ represents the average rate of return on a bond if all promised interest and principal payments are made on time and if the interest payments are reinvested at the interest rate given the price paid for the bond.
