Cost of Debt
 Debt fund can be in the form of debentures or loans
from financial institution. Debt can be of 2 types: Irredeemable or perpetual Debt
 Redeemable Debt
Cost of Irredeemable Debt
 Calculation of Irredeemable Debt, before tax : Kd = I / NP
where
 Kd = Cost of Debt before tax
 I = Interest
 NP = Net Proceeds
Example of Cost of Debt, before
tax: X Ltd. issues Rs 1000 , 8%debentures face value 100

(a) at par,
(b) at a discount of 7 % and
( c) at a premium of 10%
You are required to calculate the cost of Debt to the
company.
Cost of Irredeemable debt,after tax
 Formula:-Kda = Int/NP(1-t) * 100
 Example:-X Ltd has 8% perpetual debt of Rs20 Lakh.
The tax applicable to the company is 40%. Determine
the cost of capital after tax assuming the debt is issued
 (a) at par,
 (b) at 10% discount,
 © at 10% premium
 X ltd issues 50000 8% debentures at par the tax rate
applicable to the company is 50%
 Yltd issues 50000 8% debentures at a premium of 10%
the tax rate applicable to the company is 60%
 Altd issues 50000 8% debentures at a discount of 5%
the tax rate applicable to the company is 50%
 Bltd issues 100000 9% debentures at a premium of 10%
the floatation costs are 2% the tax rate applicable to the
company is 60%
Example of Cost of Irredeemable
Debt
 X Ltd. issues 40,000, 8% debentures of Rs 100each and
incurred the following expenditure : Underwriting
Commission 2% of issue price Brokerage 0.5% of issue

cost of Debt assuming debt is issued
 At 10% premium
 At 10% discount
 Tax rate is 40%
Cost of Redeemable Debt
 Before tax :- Kd = I + ( RV-NP) /n
_____________
½(RV+ NP)
RV: Redeemable value
NP: Net proceeds
N: Net proceeds
I: Interest
 After tax :-Kda = kd X (1-t)

Example
 A company issues 20,000, 7%debentures of Rs. 100
each at a discount of 2% t be redeemed after 10years at
a premium of 5% .The cost of floatation amount to Rs
50,000..Calculate cost of debt assuming tax rate at 40%
Cost of Preference Share Capital
 Irredeemable Preference share
 Redeemable Preference share
 Kp=D/NP
 D = Dividend
Redeemable Preference share
 Formula of computing:-Kpr = D+ (MV-NP)/ n
--------------------½ ( MV + NP )
 where:-Kpr= cost of redeemable preference
Share
 D = Dividend
 MV = Market value
 n = no of years
Example of preference share
 A company issues 10,000, 10%preference share of Rs
100 each. Cost of issue is Rs 2 per share. Calculate
cost of preference capital if these are issued at par, at a
premium of 10 % , at a discount of 5%
 A company issues 10,000 , 10%preference share of Rs
100 each redeemable after 10 years at a premium of 5%.
The cost of issue is Rs2 per share. Calculate the cost
of preference capital.
Cost of Equity share capital
 The cost is difficult to measure, as therate of return
fluctuates every year
 Its not legally binded to pay dividend to equity share
holder.
 As the future earning and dividend are expected to
grow overtime.

Formula of computing Cost of Equity
Ke=D/MP +G
where:ke=cost of equity
D=Dividend Per share
MP=Market Price
X Ltd pays a dividend of Rs 12 per share initially and
the growth in dividend is expected to be 5 % .
Compute the cost of equity share if the current market
price of anequity share is Rs 150.
Cost of Retained Earnings
 Kr=Ke (1-t)(1-B)
 Ke: cost of retianed earnings
 T:tax rate of shareholders
 B:brokerage or commission

of its shareholders are in 40% tax bracket. The mgt
estim,ates the under present conditions stock holders

___________
80,00,000
The company sells equity shares at 20 and it will pay
dividend of 2 per share which will grow at 7% for ever
Tax rate 50%compute weighted average cost of captial
 Compute new weighted average cost of capital if
company raises additional debentures at 9% 2000000
 This would result in increasing equity divided to 3 per
share and growth rate unchanged price of share will
fall to 15 per share
