3 Costs of Capital • Cost of Enterprise Capital • Risk of enterprise operations • Risks of producing and selling equipment, difficult to measure • Cost of Debt Capital • Risk that company will default • Risk to debt holders • Cost of Equity Capital • Risk of equity holders receiving distributions • Risk surrounding dividend payments and increases in equity value
Cost of Equity – CAPM req = α + (β x rmkt)
Beta Regression Alpha = -.0039…“excess returns” intercept Beta = 1.81…stock reaction to market
Beta from Various Sources • Google = 1.82 • Nasdaq = 0.92 • MSN = 1.82 • Reuters = 1.80 • Yahoo = 1.64 • Scottrade = 1.80 • NYSE = 1.80 • TD Ameritrade = 1.80 • Morningstar = 1.66 • E*Trade = 1.80 • CNBC = 1.80 • Zacks = 1.82 • Value Line = 1.30 • My Beta = 1.81, since it is close to the majority I will use it
Cost of Equity – CAPM req = α + (β x rmkt) req = -.0039 + (1.81 x 5.00%) req = 8.66% rmkt at 5.00% based on trend of lower returns
Cost of Debt – Method #2 I will use Cost of Debt = 4.79%
