The common stock of Conservation & Construction, Inc. (CCI) has a beta of .8. The Treasury bill rate is 4% and the market risk premium is estimated at 7%. CCI’s capital structure is 30% debt paying a 5% interest rate, and 70% equity.
 Required: What is CCI’s cost of equity capital and WACC? Assume CCl’s tax rate is 35%.

 

r_{e} = r_{f} + beta *(r_{m} - r_{f})

 

r_{e} = 0.04 + 0.8 *0.07

 

r_{e} =0.096 = 9.6%

 

WACC = w_{d}*r_{d}*(1-t) + w_{e}*r_{e}

 

WACC = 0.3*0.05*(1-0.35) + 0.7*0.096

 

WACC = 0.07695 = 7.695%
