David Ortiz Motors has a target capital structure of 40% debt and 60% equity. The yield to maturity on the company's outstanding bonds is 12%, and the company's tax rate is 40%. Ortiz's CFO has calculated the company's WACC as 11.54%. What is the company's cost of equity capital? Round your answer to two decimal places.

Cost of equity = 14.43%

Explanation:

Weigheted Average cost of capital is computed using the formula below:

WACC = (Wd×Kd)  + (We×Ke)

           Kd= aftre tax cost of debt= 12%× (1-0.4)= 7.2%

           Wd =Proportion of debt= 40%

           We = proportion of equity = 60%

            Ke= cost of equity.

let the cost of equity be "y"

WACC = 11.54

11.54 = (40%× 7.2%) + (60% × y)

0.1154  = 0.0288 + 0.6y

0.1154 - 0.0288 = 0.6y

y =(0.1154 - 0.0288)/0.6

y = 0.1443 × 100

y =14.43%

Cost of equity = 14.43%

it's actually a very difficult task, due to not many people can make 2 million dollars in 2 years. besides that, to the not-so-realistic ideas, you can create a business. it could be practically anything, but make it into a business that isn't that known yet, you get me? also, lets not forget about stock market. that's where all the good stuff happens. use investments at the beginning and begin to raise up your business or whatever you're going to do. as this is a very non-realistic idea, it's still worth the shot!
