Detailed Solution & Explanation

### Solution to Question 2 #### (a) Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) for CMC Limited **Working Notes:** 1. **Cost of Equity Share Capital (Ke\displaystyle K_e):** Using Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) Approach: Ke=Rf+β×(Equity Risk Premium)K_e = R_f + \beta \times (\text{Equity Risk Premium}) Given: * Risk-free rate of return (Rf\displaystyle R_f) = 4.5%\displaystyle 4.5\% * Beta coefficient (β\displaystyle \beta) = 1.5\displaystyle 1.5 * Equity risk premium (Rm−Rf\displaystyle R_m - R_f) = 9%\displaystyle 9\% Ke=4.5%+1.5×9%=4.5%+13.5%=18%=0.180K_e = 4.5\% + 1.5 \times 9\% = 4.5\% + 13.5\% = 18\% = 0.180 2. **Cost of 10% Convertible Debentures (Kd\displaystyle K_d):** * Face value of each debenture = Rs. 100\displaystyle \text{Rs. } 100 * Life of debentures (n\displaystyle n) = 6 years\displaystyle 6 \text{ years} * Growth rate of share price = 6% per annum\displaystyle 6\% \text{ per annum} * Current market price of equity share = Rs. 55\displaystyle \text{Rs. } 55 * Expected share price after 6 years: Price6=55×(1+0.06)6=55×1.418519=Rs. 78.0185\text{Price}_6 = 55 \times (1 + 0.06)^6 = 55 \times 1.418519 = \text{Rs. } 78.0185 * Conversion ratio = 4 shares for each debenture. * Redemption Value of Debenture (RV\displaystyle RV) = 4×78.0185=Rs. 312.074≈Rs. 312.07\displaystyle 4 \times 78.0185 = \text{Rs. } 312.074 \approx \text{Rs. } 312.07 * Annual Interest (I\displaystyle I) = 10% of 100=Rs. 10\displaystyle 10\% \text{ of } 100 = \text{Rs. } 10 * Tax rate (t\displaystyle t) = 30%\displaystyle 30\% * Annual Interest (After Tax) = I(1−t)=10×(1−0.3)=Rs. 7\displaystyle I(1 - t) = 10 \times (1 - 0.3) = \text{Rs. } 7 * **Alternative 1: Using Market Value of Debenture as Net Proceeds (NP=Rs. 108\displaystyle NP = \text{Rs. } 108):** Kd=I(1−t)+RV−NPnRV+NP2×100K_d = \frac{I(1 - t) + \frac{RV - NP}{n}}{\frac{RV + NP}{2}} \times 100 Kd=7+312.07−1086312.07+1082×100=7+34.012210.035×100=41.012210.035×100≈19.52%K_d = \frac{7 + \frac{312.07 - 108}{6}}{\frac{312.07 + 108}{2}} \times 100 = \frac{7 + 34.012}{210.035} \times 100 = \frac{41.012}{210.035} \times 100 \approx 19.52\% * **Alternative 2: Using Face Value of Debenture as Net Proceeds (NP=Rs. 100\displaystyle NP = \text{Rs. } 100):** Kd=7+312.07−1006312.07+1002×100=7+35.345206.035×100=42.345206.035×100≈20.55%K_d = \frac{7 + \frac{312.07 - 100}{6}}{\frac{312.07 + 100}{2}} \times 100 = \frac{7 + 35.345}{206.035} \times 100 = \frac{42.345}{206.035} \times 100 \approx 20.55\% 3. **Cost of Bank Term Loan (Kl\displaystyle K_l):** * Interest rate = 12%\displaystyle 12\% * Tax rate = 30%\displaystyle 30\% * Since market value of bank term loan is at par, Net Proceeds (NP\displaystyle NP) = Book Value. * Cost of Bank Loan (Kl\displaystyle K_l) = I(1−t)=12%×(1−0.3)=8.4%=0.084\displaystyle I(1 - t) = 12\% \times (1 - 0.3) = 8.4\% = 0.084 4. **Market Values of Capital Structure Components:** * **Equity Share Capital:** Market Value=Number of Shares×Market Price per Share=20,00,000×55=Rs. 11,00,00,000 (Rs. 1,100 Lakhs)\text{Market Value} = \text{Number of Shares} \times \text{Market Price per Share} = 20,00,000 \times 55 = \text{Rs. } 11,00,00,000 \text{ (Rs. 1,100 Lakhs)} * **10% Convertible Debentures:** Number of Debentures=Book ValueFace Value=1,00,00,000100=1,00,000\text{Number of Debentures} = \frac{\text{Book Value}}{\text{Face Value}} = \frac{1,00,00,000}{100} = 1,00,000 Market Value=1,00,000×Market Price per Debenture=1,00,000×108=Rs. 1,08,00,000 (Rs. 108 Lakhs)\text{Market Value} = 1,00,000 \times \text{Market Price per Debenture} = 1,00,000 \times 108 = \text{Rs. } 1,08,00,000 \text{ (Rs. 108 Lakhs)} * **12% Bank Term Loan:** Market Value is at par=Rs. 25,00,000 (Rs. 25 Lakhs)\text{Market Value is at par} = \text{Rs. } 25,00,000 \text{ (Rs. 25 Lakhs)} * **Total Market Value of Capital Structure:** Total MV=11,00,00,000+1,08,00,000+25,00,000=Rs. 12,33,00,000 (Rs. 1,233 Lakhs)\text{Total MV} = 11,00,00,000 + 1,08,00,000 + 25,00,000 = \text{Rs. } 12,33,00,000 \text{ (Rs. 1,233 Lakhs)}
