Bonaime, Inc.

1. The company's cost of equity = 5.90%

2. The company's after-tax cost of debt = 5.92%

3. The company's equity weight = 83.32%

4. The company's debt weight = 16.68%

5. The company's WACC = 5.9035%

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Common stock outstanding = 7.7 million shares

Current share price = $62.70

Book value per share = $5.70

Most recent dividend per share = $3.70

1. Cost of equity = Dividend/Current share price = $3.70/$62.70 = 5.90%

Value:

Book value = 7.7 million * $5.70 = $43,890,000

Market value = 7.7 million * $62,70 = $482,790,000

Bonds outstanding:           First Bonds      Second Bonds   Total

Face value =                     $71,700,000     $36,700,000    $108,400,000

Coupon rate                           7.2%               8.2%

Annual coupon payment  $5,162,400       $3,009,400          $8,171,800

Market value per bond         89.5%              88.5%

Market value of bonds    $64,171,500     $32,479,500       $96,651,000

Before tax cost of debt = $8,171,800/$96,651,000 = 0.08455

2. After tax cost of debt = 5.92% (0.08455 * (1 - 0.30))

3. The company's equity weight = Equity Market Value/Total Firm's Value

= $482,790,000/$579,441,000

= 83.32%

4. The company's debt weight = 1 - 0.8332

= 16.68%

5. The company's WACC = Cost of equity * Weight + Cost of Debt * Weight

= (5.90% * 83.32%) + (5.92% * 16.68%)

= (0.0590 * 0.8332) + (0.0592 * 0.1668)

= 0.04916  + 0.009875

= 0.059035

= 5.9035%

b) The costs of equity and debts are based on their market values instead of the book value.  The market values are always more relevant in capital decision-making than the book values.
