Revision note, pg 32& 33, the MM theory

Ccyh9y ago
Hi Sir, i refer to you Revision note, pg 32& 33 regrading the MM theory and the example. Company raised more debt and the gearing ratio change to 80% (debt to quity) i am a bit confused with the gearing ratio. since it meantioned gearing ratio change to 80% (debt to quity). the market value of equity should be 100 the market value of debt should be 80 so total market value is 180 but how come the answer of new WACC, the total market value is 80+20, not 100+80 ? AND, in MM formula, the Cost of debt is always refer to risk free debt?

The answer in the notes is wrong, and I must correct it. However the lecture working through the example is completely correct.

Maybe, I will check. I must remove the revision notes anyway, because it is the main notes and lectures that are important, and they certainly are correct :-)
