    Good day sir. I was wondering if you’d be able to explain the following discrepancy to me in BKB Co (amended) (December 2012).

    Market Value for Ordinary Shares: $5; Cost of cap: 10%; MV*Cost = 0.5
    Market Value for Preference Shares: $0.625; Cost of cap: 8%; MV*Cost = 0.05
    Market Value for Loan Notes: $105; Cost of cap: 6.43%; MV*Cost = 6.7515

    Sum of Market Val: 110.625
    Sum of MV*Cost: 7.3015

    WACC: 7.3015/110.625 which gives us 6.60%

    However, the BPP Kit has the solution for WACC as 9.4%. Not sure where I went wrong thanks in advance.

    Market Value for Ordinary Shares: $5; TMV $5 * 25 =125m = Cost of cap: 10%;

    Market Value for Preference Shares: $0.625; TMV 6.25m Cost of cap 8%

    Market Value for Loan Notes: $105; TMV = 21m (20 * 1.05) Cost of cap: 6.43%

    125 0.82 of your finance is costing 10% = 8.2
    6.25 0.04 of your finance is costing 8% = 0.32
    21 0.14 of your finance is costing 6.43% = 0.9 = 9.4%
    These 3 MV come to
    152.25

    Understood sir. Could you clarify:

    0.82

    0.04

    0.14

    Thanks. Not sure how those factor into the calculation.

    125 is 0.82 of your finance of 152.25
    6.25 is 0.04 of your finance of 152.25
    21 is 0.14 of your finance of 152.25
