Question 2

Explain what is wrong with the following argument:“If a firm issues debt that is risk free, because there is no possibility of

default, the risk of the firm’s equity does not change. Therefore,

risk-free debt allows the firm to get the benefit of a low cost of capitalof debt without raising its cost of equity."

The argument is wrong because any leverage raises the equity cost of

capital. Risk-free leverage raises it the most because it does not share

any of the risk.

Question 8

Acort Industries has 20 million shares outstanding and a current share

price of $30 per share. It also has a long-term debt outstanding. Thisdebt is risk free, is four years away from maturity, has an annualcoupon rate of 5%, and has a $125 million face value. The first of the

remaining coupon payments will be due in exactly one year. Theriskless interest rates for all maturities are constant at 3%. Acort has

EBIT of $115 million, which is expected to remain constant each year.New capital expenditures are expected to equal depreciation andequal $22 million per year, while no changes to net working capital are

expected in the future. The corporate tax rate is 38%, and Acort is

expected to keep its debt-equity ratio constant in the future (by eitherissuing additional new debt or buying back some debt as time goeson).

1.  Based on this information, estimate Acort’s WACC.
