1.
After tax cost of debt= Current yield to maturity*(1-Tax rate) Based on information from Current Yield on Publicly Traded Nike Debt,
Number of payment periods (N) =25*2=50 years
Present value =$95.6
Pmt=-3.375
FV=-$100
Yield to maturity= 3.56% (semi-annually), 7.12 %( annually)
After tax cost of debt = 7.12%*(1-38%)= 4.84%
Cost of equity= Market risk free rate* Market risk premium*Beta
Based on information from Current Yields on U.S Treasuries,
20-year current yields should be used as market risk free rate since it has the longest period, which is equal to 5.74%
Based on information from Historical Equity Risk Premiums,
Geometric mean should be used to calculate market risk premium, which is equal to 5.9%
Based on information from Nike Historic Betas
Most recent beta= 0.69
Cost of equity=5.74%*5.9%*0.69=9.81%
Based on information from Exhibit3 (Balance sheet)
Book value of stockholders’ equity= 3494.5
And according to our text book, capital must be provided by investors- interest bearing debt, preferred stock and common equity, accounts payable and accrued should be deducted.
