1. Cohen calculated Nike’s weighted average cost of capital (WACC) to be 8.3%. I find error in this calculation as a result of the following points of disagreement: a) Weighting of Capital Structure: Use of book values of capital rather than the market values b) Cost of Debt Calculation: Incorrect method for calculating debt c) Tax Rate: Use of a tax rate derived from the summation of state and statutory taxes instead of the firm’s marginal tax rate 2.

Capital re = cost of equity rd = cost of debt E = market value of equity D = Market value of debt t = tax rate 2. Calculate cost of equity using the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM). Given are the values: Rf = 5.74% β = 0.8 Rm – rf = 5.9% Required to calculate the cost of equity re; using CAPM. It follows that from our formula Re = rf + β (Rm –rf) = 5.74% + 0.8 (5.9%) = 10.46% Assumptions: We decided to use the 20 year treasury risk free rate value of 5.74% because it is

PPC has simply been using 10% (their equity growth rate) as their cost‚ but must instead either use the CAPM model to calculate their cost of equity‚ or the Dividend-growth model. If they use the CAPM model‚ which is the most accurate‚ their cost of equity will be: .078+.8(.1625-.078)=14.56%. Or they can use the Dividend-growth model and their cost of equity would be: (2.7/63)+.1=14.29%. Both are
