Introduction to the Cost of Capital > The Basics of the Cost of Capital
Defining the Cost of Capital
• If a project is of similar risk to a company's average business activities, it is
reasonable to use the company's average cost of capital as a basis for project
evaluation.
• A company's securities typically include both debt and equity; therefore, one must
calculate both the cost of debt and the cost of equity to determine a company's
cost of capital.
• Weighted average cost of capital takes into account the amount of financing that
comes through the use of debt and the use of equity.
• IRR is the rate of return that makes the net present value of all cash flows from an
investment equal zero.

Introduction to the Cost of Capital > The Basics of the Cost of Capital
Differences Between Required Return and the Cost of Capital
• Cost of capital refers to the expected returns on all of the various securities issued
by a company, often expressed as a weighted average.
• Required refers to the rate of return necessary to achieve in order to compensate
investors for taking on the risk of the individual investment.
• The risk premium can be established by understanding business risk and financial
risk.

Introduction to the Cost of Capital > The Basics of the Cost of Capital
Relationship Between Financial Policy and the Cost of Capital
• As opposed to strictly using cost of capital, decisions must be made using
opportunity cost of capital.
• Opportunity cost of capital is the amount of money foregone by investing in one
asset compared to another.
• Facets of financial policy include valuation, portfolio theory, hedging, and capital
structure.

Introduction to the Cost of Capital > Valuing Different Costs
The Cost of Debt
• Cost of debt equals the interest rate of the debt (composed of the risk-free rate
and a credit risk premium) times one minus the corporate tax rate.
• Cost of debt is also equal to the annual interest payment of the debt divided by its
market value.
• The yield to maturity can be used in determining the cost of debt. It is is the
discount rate at which the sum of all future cash flows from the bond are equal to
the price of the bond.

Introduction to the Cost of Capital > Valuing Different Costs
The Cost of Preferred Stock
• Preferred stock is an equity security with properties of both an equity and a debt
instrument.
• Because preferred stock carries a differing amount of risk than other types of
securities, we must calculate its asset specific cost of capital to work into our
overall weighted average cost of capital.
• The dividend is usually specified as a percentage of the par value or as a fixed
amount.

Introduction to the Cost of Capital > Valuing Different Costs
The Cost of Common Equity
• A company's current cost of equity can be difficult to determine because it is
unobservable and must be estimated.
• The cost of equity can be estimated by comparing the investment to other
investments with similar risk profiles.
• Other methods of estimating cost of equity include the capital asset pricing model,
the dividend growth model, and the bond plus model.

Introduction to the Cost of Capital > Valuing Different Costs
The Cost of Retained Earnings
• Retained earnings refers to the portion of net income (or loss) that is retained by a
company rather than distributed to its owners as dividends.
• We can think of the cost of retained earnings in relation to the opportunity cost of
how we can use these funds elsewhere.
• When deciding how to finance a new project, companies have a tendency to
follow the pecking order of finance, preferring internal sources of capital to
external sources of capital.

Introduction to the Cost of Capital > Valuing Different Costs
The Cost of New Common Stock
• If a mixture of internal and external sources of financing are used, a company
must determine the proportion of external financing to be used, and thus the
marginal cost of capital.
• Flotation costs include all costs of issuing the securities, such as banker's fees,
legal fees, underwriting fees, filing costs, etc.
• Cost of new common stock is calculated using the dividend growth model, by
devaluing the current stock price by the amount of flotation cost.

Introduction to the Cost of Capital > Approaches to Calculating the Cost of Capital
The Capital Asset Pricing Model
• CAPM determines the expected rate of return of an asset.
• The model takes into account the asset's sensitivity to systematic risk (beta), the
expected return of the market, and the expected return of a risk-free asset.
• CAPM states that investors are only rewarded for bearing systematic risk.
• CAPM states that if the expected return is not greater than or equal to our
required return the investment should not be made.

Introduction to the Cost of Capital > Approaches to Calculating the Cost of Capital
The SML Approach
• The SML graphs the relationship between risk β (beta) and expected return.
• All correctly priced assets lie on the SML.
• If a security is priced above the SML, it is undervalued. If it is priced below the
SML, it is overvalued.

Introduction to the Cost of Capital > Approaches to Calculating the Cost of Capital
Discounted Cash Flow Approach
• In the DCF approach, all future expected cash flows associated with the asset are
discounted in order to find their present values.
• To determine the value of the asset, the present values of all expected cash flows
are summed.
• When future cash flows are infinite or extend past a certain period, a terminal
value can be found and discounted back to the present.
• Comparing a value found using the DCF approach with the actual price of an
asset determines if an asset is undervalued, overvalued, or correctly priced.

Introduction to the Cost of Capital > Approaches to Calculating the Cost of Capital
The "Bond Yield Plus Risk Premium" Approach
• The BYPRP approach applies to a company's publicly traded equity.
• The yield to maturity is the discount rate at which the sum of all future cash flows
from a bond are equal to its price.
• The equity risk premium is the return that stocks are expected to receive in
excess of the risk-free interest rate.
• The BYPRP approach does not produce as accurate an estimate as the capital
asset pricing model or discounted cash flow analysis.

Introduction to the Cost of Capital > The WACC
Weighted Average Cost of Capital
• The WACC is the minimum rate of return a company must earn on a new venture
in order to make the investment worthwhile.
• The various securities that companies use as sources of finance are expected to
generate different returns.
• To calculate WACC, multiply the cost of debt by the ratio of debt to total market
value of the company. Then add this to the cost of equity multiplied by the ratio of
equity to total market value.

Introduction to the Cost of Capital > The WACC
The Weightings
• The WACC must take into account the weight of each component of a company's
capital structure.
• The calculation of the WACC usually uses the market values of the various
components rather than their book values.
• Market value is the price at which an asset would trade in a competitive auction
setting.
• Book value refers to the value of an asset according to the account balance
present on the balance sheet of a company.
• If the value of a company's debt exceeds the value of its equity, the cost of its
debt will have more "weight" in calculating its total cost of capital than the cost of

Introduction to the Cost of Capital > The WACC
Factors Controlled by the Firm
• Capital structure refers to the way a company finances its assets through some
combination of equity, debt, or hybrid securities.
• When a higher proportion of debt is chosen, the cost of debt must factor in credit
risk.
• Changes in a company's dividend policy provide information to investors, who
should react accordingly to either increase or decrease the value of an asset.

Introduction to the Cost of Capital > The WACC
Factors External to the Firm
• Since debt expense is tax-deductible, the cost of debt is computed as an after tax
cost to make it comparable with the cost of equity.
• The Federal Reserve moderates long-term interest rates, which causes
fluctuations in the risk-free rate that affect the cost of capital.
• Economic conditions refer to the demand and supply of capital in the marketplace
that can impact how capital is raised, and therefore what the cost of capital will
be.
• Market conditions refer to the demand for higher rates of return by investors,
which will increase the cost of capital.

Introduction to the Cost of Capital > The WACC
Making Risk Adjustments
• It is possible to adjust risk by figuring the differing risk into the company's beta.
• The beta coefficient is the risk of a new project in relation to the risk of the market
as a whole.
• Therefore, if a new project of differing risk is undertaken, the beta for that project
will be weighted into the company's overall cost of capital.

Introduction to the Cost of Capital > The WACC
Problems with WACC
• While the relative debt and equity values can be easily determined, calculating the
costs of debt and equity can be problematic.
• The problem inherent in different methods used to calculate cost of equity is that
at least one component is an estimate.
• The terms of risk-free bonds used in determining cost of debt may not always
adequately match the terms of the company's debt.
