Provide your estimates for the "after-merger" valuations if Coolio issues debt with the market value- based target net debt/value ratio of 50%. The ratio is assumed to be maintained over time and all proceeds from the debt are used to repurchase shares at fair market value. Estimate Coolio's after-tax cost of debt given that the newly issued bonds will be rated as A2 in Moody's credit rating, which makes the estimated probability to default equal to 0.5%. Comparable bonds' yield to maturity on the market is currently 3.77% p.a. The bond's expected loss rate to bond investors in the event of default is estimated to be 60%. 5.2 Calculate the cost of levered equity. 5.3 Derive the value of levered beta after debt issuance. 5.4 Calculate after-tax WACC. 5.5 Refine your financial forecast to adjust for interest expenses and provide an estimate of Enterprise Value with leverage and the new price per share.
