Layer4:TheCostofCapital

¨ ThecostofcapitalforChippewaTechnologies,aUStechnologyfirmwith20%ofitsrevenuesfromBrazil,hasbeencomputedusingthefollowinginputs:

Cost of equity = Riskfree Rate + Beta (ERP) + Small firm premium = 5% + 1.20 (5%) + 3% = 14%

Replaced current T.Bond rate of 3% with normalized rate of 5%

“Adjusted” Beta from Bloomberg

Both from Ibbotson data base, derived from 1926-2008 dataERP: Stocks - T.Bonds (Arithmetic average)Small firm: Smal stocks - Overall market

Cost of capital = Cost of equity (Equity/ (Debt + Equity)) + Cost of debt (1- tax rate) (Debt/ (Debt + Equity)= 14% (1000/2000) + 3% (1-.30) (1000/2000) = 8.05%

From above

Used market value of equity

Company is not rated and has no bonds. Used book interest rate = Int exp/ BV of debt

Used effective tax rate of 30%

To be conservative, counted all liabilities, other than equity, as debt and used book value.
