Problem
I. Assume a for-profit company has $8 million of long-term debt with an interest rate of 6%. It has $3 million of preferred stock with a required dividend rate of 8% and $4 million of common stock that is estimated to have a cost of capital of 10%. What is its weighted average cost of capital?
II. Assume a not-for-profit company has $10 million of long-term tax-exempt debt with an interest rate of 4.5%. The organization has $7 million of net assets without donor restrictions, with an estimated cost of capital of 6%, and $4 million of net assets with donor restrictions (in an endowment), with an estimated 7% return on assets (cost of capital). What is its weighted average cost of capital?
