UPDATED ACTUAL Questions and
CORRECT Answers
Each capital source for an organization may have a different capital cost - CORRECT
ANSWER✔✔- True


As the acting CFO of Oracle Corporation, you have been tasked with increasing the
company's valuation. Several options are under consideration and need your assessment. (10
points each)
The company may issue preferred stock to raise $500 million to fund new wireless
networking products. The products are estimated to provide a 13% IRR. What is WACC
currently? How much would it be if the preferred stock is issued? Is this a feasible
alternative?
Facts: Current debt costs 4.0% (net of tax), current equity costs 12.25%, and the preferred
stock would cost 10.00%. Debt currently is $300 million and equity is $900 million. -
CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- Equity = $900 million
Debt = $300 million
Weightage of equity = 900 / (900+300) = 0.75
Weightage of Debt = 300 / (900+300) = 0.25
Cost of Debt = 4%
Cost of Equity = 12.25 %
WACC = 12.25% * .75 + 4% * .25 = 10.18%


Preferred stock Value = $500 million
Cost of preferred stock = 10%
Weightage of equity = 900 / (900+300+500) = .53
Weightage of Debt = 300 / (900+300+500) = .18
Weightage of Preferred stock = 500 / (900+300+500) = .29
WACC = 12.25%*.53 + 4%*.18 + 10%*.29 = 10.11%
Issuing preferred stock is a feasible alternative to raise fund. The reason is that company can
raise fund without diluting the ownership. Unlike ordinary shares, preferred stockholder has
no voting rights. But company has to give predefined dividend to the preferred stockholders.
Further, Preferred stock is less risky than long-term debt financing. If the firm is unable to

, pay periodic dividend or to redeem preferred stocks at maturity, preferred stockholders
cannot take the company into bankruptcy. Because, from legal point of view, preferred
stockholders are owners of the company.
