SECTION A FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT (50 Marks)

COST OF CAPITAL

SUMMARY

1. Cost of Capital: Cost of capital is the return expected by the providers of capital (i.e. shareholders, lenders and the debt-holders) to the business as a compensation for their contribution to the total capital. Cost of capital is also known as ‘cut-off’ rate, ‘hurdle rate’, ‘minimum rate of return’ etc.

2. Components of Cost of Capital: COMPONENTS OF COST OF CAPITAL (KC OR KO)

4.2

SECTION A : FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT

3. Cost of Debt (Kd): COST OF DEBTS (Kd) In Lump-sum In Instalments

Irredeemable Redeemable

Kd = ( ) 

× 11-t 100 NP

Here,

I = Amount of Interest

NP = Net Proceeds

Alternatively: When FV = NP

Kd = Rate of Interest (1 - t)

(1) Approximation Method:

(a) Kd =

(b) Kd =

(2) YTM Method; Kd = L + L LH NPV NPVNPV × (H - L)

(a) Cost of Irredeemable Debenture:

Kd = I(1t) NP × 100

Where, I = Amount of Interest t = Tax rate

YTM Method only : Kd = L+ L

NP = Net Proceeds of Debenture or Current Market Price

Note: If Face Value of Debenture equal to Net Proceeds then Kd = Rate of Interest (1 – t)

(b) Cost of Redeemable Debenture (in Lump sum): Approximation Method:

Kd =

Where, I = Amount of Interest.

RV = Redemption value of Debenture

NP = Net Proceeds of Debenture or Current Market Price

n = Remaining Life of Debenture

Present Value Method (PV)/Yield to Maturity Method (YTM):

Kd = IRR = L + L LH NPV NPVNPV × (H - L)

(c) Cost of Redeemable Debenture (in Instalments):

Kd = IRR = L + L LH NPV NPVNPV × (H - L)

(d) Cost of Zero Coupon Bonds (ZCB):

Kd = n RV 1 IP

Where, I = Amount of Interest.

RV = Redemption value of Debenture

IP = Issue Price of Bond

n = Life of Bond

Note:

In case of convertible debenture use convertible value in place of redemption value of debenture.

If nothing is specified, issue price, redemption value etc. assumed to be equal to face value.

If nothing is specified, flotation cost assumed to be linked with “face value or issue price whichever is higher”.

4. Cost of Preference Share Capital (K p):

KP = PD NP 100 Here,

PD = Amount of PD

NP = Net Proceeds

Alternatively: When FV = NP

COST OF PREFERENCE SHARE CAPITAL (KP): In Lump-sum In Instalments

KP = Rate of PD (1) Approximation Method :

(a) KP =

(2) YTM Method :

KP = L +

YTM Method only: KP = L + L LH NPV NPVNPV × (H - L)

4.4

SECTION A : FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT

(a) Cost of Irredeemable Preference Share:

K p = PD NP × 100

Where,

PD = Amount of Preference Dividend

NP = Net Proceeds of Preference Share or Current Market Price of Preference Share

Note: If Face Value of Preference Share equal to Net Proceeds then

K p = Rate of Preference Dividend

(b) Cost of Redeemable Preference Share (in Lump sum):

Approximation Method: K p =

Where,

PD = Amount of Preference Dividend

RV = Redemption value of Preference Share

NP = Net Proceeds of Preference Share or Current Market Price of Preference Share

n = Remaining Life of Preference Share

Present Value Method (PV)/Yield to Maturity Method (YTM):

(c) Cost of Redeemable Preference Share (in Instalments):

Note:

In case of convertible preference share use convertible value in place of redemption value.

If nothing is specified, issue price, redemption value etc. assumed to be equal to face value.

If nothing is specified, flotation cost assumed to be linked with “face value or issue price whichever is higher”.

5. Cost of Equity Share Capital (K e): COST OF

(Ke) Dividend Price Approach

K e = 0 D P × 100 or In Case of New Issue :

K e = D NP × 100

(a) Dividend Price/Yield Approach:

K e = 0 D P × 100 Where,

D = Expected/Current Dividend

P0 = Current Market Price of Equity Share

Assumption: Constant Dividend

(b) Earning Price/Yield Approach:

K e = 0 E P × 100 Where,

E = Expected/Current EPS

P0 = Current Market Price of Equity Share

Assumption: Constant EPS

(c) Growth Approach or Gordon’s Model:

Where,

D1 = D0 (1 + g) = Expected DPS

P0 = Current Market Price of Equity Share

g = Constant Growth Rate of Dividend

4.6

Note:

SECTION A : FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT

In case of fresh issue of Equity shares (New Shares), Net Proceeds from equity share {(Issue price - Issue expenses/Flotation cost) or (P - F)} is used in place of current price of share. If nothing is specified, flotation cost assumed to be linked with “face value or issue price whichever is higher”.

Estimation of Growth Rate:

(a) Average Method: Growth rate = 0 n n D D - 1

D0 = Current Dividend

D n = Dividend in n years ago

(b) Gordon’s Growth Model: g = b × r

r = Rate of return on fund invested

b = Earning retention ratio

(c) Realised Yield Approach:

K e = Average rate of return realised in past few years = IRR or Geometric mean

(d) Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM):

K e = Rf + ß (Rm - Rf)

Rf = Risk Free Rate of Return

R m = Rate of Return on Market Portfolio

R m - Rf = Market Risk Premium

ß = Beta coefficient

6. Cost of Retained Earnings (K r): After tax return to shareholder if he invest elsewhere.

Formulae:

K r = K e (of existing investors)

K r = K e (1 - tp) (In case of personal tax)

K r = K e (1 - tp) (1 - f) (f is rate of flotation cost)

7. Weighted Average Cost of Capital (K0): WACC is also known as the overall cost of capital of having capitals from the different sources as explained above. WACC of a company depends on the capital structure of a company. Weighted average cost of capital is the weighted average after tax costs of the individual components of firm’s capital structure. That is, the after tax cost of each debt and equity is calculated separately and added together to a single overall cost of capital. It can be calculated by using either Book Value weights or Market Value weights.

Proforma Statement of WACC

Note: Market Value of equity has been apportioned in the ratio of Book Value of equity and retained earnings when Market Value weights are used.

8. Marginal Cost of Capital (MCC): The marginal cost of capital may be defined as the cost of raising an additional rupee of capital. Marginal cost of capital is derived, when the average cost of capital is calculated using the marginal weights.

FORMATS AND FORMULAS

COST OF DEBENTURE (Kd)

Perpetual

Redeemable (Approximation Method)

(1) NP (Net proceeds) :

Interest (1-t)/NP × 100

Interest (1-t) + (RV-NP/N) × 100

RV + NP/2

Issue price or selling price – flotation cost Or Market price – Flotation cost Or Face value – Flotation cost Or 100 – Flotation cost

(2) RV (Redeemable value): Given Or Face value Or 100

(3) N = Maturity period. If not given means debenture is perpetual

(4) t = Tax rate

COST OF CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURE

Cost of convertible debenture

Approximation method or YTM method

In case of convertible debenture, only different calculation is of Redeemable value. Redeemable value calculation = No of shares per debenture x Market price per share at the time of conversion.

Step 2

Step 3

Step 4

Calculate IRR. IRR is ke

COST OF RESERVE AND SURPLUS

(Kr)

Cost of reserve & surplus Ke (1 – Shareholder tax rate)

(1) For Kr calculation, Flotation cost is not to be deducted from net proceeds.

(2) Shareholder or personal tax rate if given in question, then only it is adjusted.

(2) If flotation cost and shareholder tax rate not given, Ke = Kr.

WEIGHTED AVERAGE COST OF CAPITAL

Equity share capital

Preference share capital

Debenture Loan Reserves

(1) Book value of loan and market value of loan is same

(2) When WACC is calculated on market value weight, Market value of equity share is to be apportioned between Equity share and Reserve in their book value ratio.
