International Capital Structure and the Cost of Capital
• Firms are becoming multinational in both scope AND in capital structure • Fully integrated financial markets = the same cost of capital both domestically and abroad o If not, opportunity may exists to decrease cost of capital
Cost of Capital
• The minimum rate of return an investment must generate to cover its financing cost
• Firms will undertake projects if the return is expected to exceed the cost of capital • Return = Cost of Capital : value unchanged • Return > Cost of Capital : firm’s value increases • Return < Cost of Capital : bad investment
Weighted Average Cost of Capital (K)
• When a firm has both debt and equity financing, weighted average cost of capital:
K = (1-λ)K+ λ(1- t)i
K = (1-λ)KL + λi(1- t)
• (1- λ) = weight of cost of capital that is from equity • KL = cost of equity capital
• λ = debt-to-total-market-value ratio (weight of total cost of capital that is from debt)
• i = before-tax cost of debt capital (borrowing) • t = marginal corporate income tax rate o Interest payments are tax deductible
K = (1-λ)KL + λi(1- t)
• (1- λ) = weight of cost of capital that is from equity
• KL = cost of equity capital
• λ = debt-to-total-market-value ratio (weight of total cost of capital that is from debt) • i = before-tax cost of debt capital (borrowing)
• t = marginal corporate income tax rate o Interest payments are tax deductible
K = (1-λ)KL + λi(1- t)
• (1- λ) = weight of cost of capital that is from equity • KL = cost of equity capital • λ =
