Finance

On January 1, the total market value of the Tysseland Company was $60 million. During the year, the company plans to raise and invest $15 million in new projects. The firm's present market value capital structure, here below, is considered to be optimal. There is no short-term debt.

Debt $30,000,000
Common equity 30,000,000
Total capital $60,000,000

New bonds will have an 10% coupon rate, and they will be sold at par. Common stock is currently selling at $30 a share. The stockholders' required rate of return is estimated to be 12%, consisting of a dividend yield of 4% and an expected constant growth rate of 8%. (The next expected dividend is $1.20, so the dividend yield is $1.20/$30 = 4%.) The marginal tax rate is 40%.

  1. In order to maintain the present capital structure, how much of the new investment must be financed by common equity? Write out your answers completely. For example, 13 million should be entered as 13,000,000. Round your answer to the nearest dollar.

  2. Assuming there is sufficient cash flow for Tysseland to maintain its target capital structure without issuing additional shares of equity, what is its WACC? Round your answer to two decimal places.
