Datacomp Industries, which has no current debt, has a beta of .95 for its common stock. Management is considering a change in the capital structure to 30% debt and 70% equity This change would increase the beta on the stock to 1.05. and the after-tax cost of debt will be 75%. The expected return on equity is 16%, and the risk-free rate is 6%. Should Datacomp's management proceed with the capital structure change?

  1. No, because the cost of equity capital will increase.
  2. Yes, because the cost of equity capital will decrease.
  3. Yes, because the weighted-average cost of capital will decrease.
  4. No, because the weighted-average cost of capital will increase.

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

The important consideration is whether the overall cost of capital will be lower for a given proposal. According to the Capital Asset Pricing Model, the change will result in a lower average cost of capital For the existing structure, the cost of equity capital is 15.5% [6% + 95(16% -- 6%)1, Because the company has no debt, the average cost of capital is also 15.5%. Under the proposal, the cost of equity capital is 16.5% [6% + 1.05(16% -- 6%)]. and the weighted average cost of capital is 13.8% [.3(075) + 7(165)]. Hence, the proposal of 13.8% should be accepted

The study package is helpful in passing your exam since the practice questions are copied from real exam. But in order to learn the modules in details you need books.
