4.) The following is data on your firm: capital structure is 25% debt and 75% equity, tax rate is 35%, the current yield to maturity on its debt is 4% and Beta = .85. The following is data on a firm you've determined to be comparable from a business perspective to a project your firm is considering: Debt/Value = .4, Beta = 1.75 and tax rate = 25%. Assume that the risk-free rate of interest = 3% and the market risk premium = 6%. a.) Use the Hamada equation to determine your comparable firm's asset beta b.) Compute the overall WACC for your firm. c.) Re lever the comparable firm's asset beta using your firm's capital structure. d.) Now, compute WACC for a project in your firm with asset risk similar to your comparable company and financed in accordance with your firm's overall capital structure. 4.)
