Answer:
Cost of capital=11.18%
Explanation:
First We will calculate the Equity of firm:
Equity= Number of share* Book value per share
Equity= 10,000* $25
Equity= $250,000
Long-term debt=$300,000
Expected rate of return=15%=0.15
Current yield to maturity (rdebt)=8%=0.08.
Value of firm=Equity+Long-term debt
Value of firm= $250,000+$300,000
Value of firm= $550,000
Formula:
[tex]Cost\ of \ Capital=\frac{Equity}{Value\ of\ firm}* Rate\ of\ return+\frac{Debit}{Value\ of\ firm}* yield\ to\ maturity[/tex]
[tex]Cost\ of\ Capital=\frac{\$250,000}{\$550,000}*0.15+\frac{\$300,000}{\$550,000}*0.08\\ Cost\ of\ Capital=0.1118[/tex]
Cost of capital=11.18%
