1: PhillyFlooring is looking to go public with an IPO. In order to raise funds so the company can
expand beyond the Philadelphia area, they will issue bonds and common stock. They have hired
a local financial consultant who will charge a fee (or flotation cost) for handling the IPO. The
flotation costs are 5% of the suggested bond price and 3% of the projected stock price. Given
the following and a 20% corporate tax rate, calculate the cost of capital for each security and in
total for the IPO. Use the Dividend Growth Model for the stock.
Suggested Bond price = $905($1,000 Face Value) before flotation cost
Suggested Bond term =4 years
Suggested Bond Coupon rate =3.5%
Projected Stock Price = $25/share before flotation cost
Projected Stock Dividend = $0.70 per share
Growth rate =8%
kb before flotation cost = kb after flotation cost =
kcs before flotation cost = kcs after flotation cost =
What would be the dividend if kcs equaled 10%?
2: A year later and since the IPO, PhillyFlooring has generated the following in equity:
Total Bond Equity = $10,000,000
Total Common Stock Equity = $15,000,000
Total Equity = $25,000,000
Based on the cost of capital for each security, now calculate the weights for each and the
Weighted Average Cost of Capital after flotation cost.
WACC =
3: How would your WACC change by calculating the kcs by using the CAPM? Assume a risk free rate
of 5%, a Beta of 1.25 and market return rate of 4%.
WACC =
