The following are calculations for:
0% debt:
Cost of equity = Rf + Bu (Km - Krf) = 0.07 + 0.8(0.086) = 13.88%
WACC = WD*Kd+ Ws*rs = 0 + 13.88 = 13.88%
NOTE THAT: Km - Krf = Market Risk Premium
25% debt
Rs = r0 + D/E(r0-rb) = 13.88 + 1/3(13.88- 7) = 16.1
Alternatively:
Bl = Bu {1+ (1-T) (D/E)} = .8{1+ (1- .34) (1/3) = .976
Cost of equity = Rf+ Bl (Km - Krf) = 0.07+ .976 (0.086) = 15.4%
WAAC = .23*0.0462+ .77* 0.161= 13.5%
NOTE THAT: Km - Krf = Market Risk Premium
50% debt
Rs = r0 + D/E(r0-rb) = 13.88 + 1(13.88- 7) = 20.8%
WACC = .43*0.0462+ .57*.208= 13.8%
Above we see that more debt has increases the value of assets for the firm but that...
