3. Company Cost of Capital
A firm’s value can be stated as the sum of the value of its various assets.

4. Company Cost of Capital
A company’s cost of capital can be compared to the CAPM required return. 13

5. Measuring Betas
The SML shows the relationship between return and risk.
CAPM uses Beta as a proxy for risk.
Beta is the slope of the SML, using CAPM terminology.
Other methods can be employed to determine the slope of the SML and thus Beta.
Regression analysis can be used to find Beta.

15. Capital Budgeting & Risk
Modify CAPM
(account for proper risk)
Use COC unique to project,
rather than Company COC
Take into account Capital Structure

16. Company Cost of Capital simple approach
Company Cost of Capital (COC) is based on the average beta of the assets.
The average Beta of the assets is based on the % of funds in each asset.

17. Company Cost of Capital simple approach
Company Cost of Capital (COC) is based on the average beta of the assets.
The average Beta of the assets is based on the % of funds in each asset.
Example
1/3 New Ventures B=2.0
1/3 Expand existing business B=1.3
1/3 Plant efficiency B=0.6
AVG B of assets = 1.3

18. Capital Structure R = rf + B ( rm - rf ) Requity = rf + B ( rm - rf )
Capital Structure - the mix of debt & equity within a company
Expand CAPM to include CS
R = rf + B ( rm - rf )
becomes
Requity = rf + B ( rm - rf )

19. Capital Structure & COC
COC = rportfolio = rassets

20. Capital Structure & COC
COC = rportfolio = rassets
rassets = WACC = rdebt (D) + requity (E)
(V) (V)

21. Capital Structure & COC
COC = rportfolio = rassets
rassets = WACC = rdebt (D) + requity (E)
(V) (V)
Bassets = Bdebt (D) + Bequity (E)
(V) (V)

22. Capital Structure & COC
COC = rportfolio = rassets
rassets = WACC = rdebt (D) + requity (E)
(V) (V)
Bassets = Bdebt (D) + Bequity (E)
(V) (V)
requity = rf + Bequity ( rm - rf )

23. Capital Structure & COC
COC = rportfolio = rassets
rassets = WACC = rdebt (D) + requity (E)
(V) (V)
Bassets = Bdebt (D) + Bequity (E)
(V) (V)
IMPORTANT
E, D, and V are all market values
requity = rf + Bequity ( rm - rf )

29. Unbiased Forecast
Given three outcomes and their related probabilities and cash flows we can determine an unbiased forecast of cash flows.

30. Asset Betas Cash flow = revenue - fixed cost - variable cost
PV(asset) = PV(revenue) - PV(fixed cost) - PV(variable cost) or
PV(revenue) = PV(fixed cost) + PV(variable cost) + PV(asset)

33. Risk,DCF and CEQ Example
Project A is expected to produce CF = $100 mil for each of three years. Given a risk free rate of 6%, a market premium of 8%, and beta of .75, what is the PV of the project?

34. Risk,DCF and CEQ Example
Project A is expected to produce CF = $100 mil for each of three years. Given a risk free rate of 6%, a market premium of 8%, and beta of .75, what is the PV of the project?

35. Risk,DCF and CEQ Example
Project A is expected to produce CF = $100 mil for each of three years. Given a risk free rate of 6%, a market premium of 8%, and beta of .75, what is the PV of the project?

36. Risk,DCF and CEQ
Example
Project A is expected to produce CF = $100 mil for each of three years. Given a risk free rate of 6%, a market premium of 8%, and beta of .75, what is the PV of the project?
Now assume that the cash flows change, but are RISK FREE. What is the new PV?

37. Risk,DCF and CEQ Example
Project A is expected to produce CF = $100 mil for each of three years. Given a risk free rate of 6%, a market premium of 8%, and beta of .75, what is the PV of the project?.. Now assume that the cash flows change, but are RISK FREE. What is the new PV?

38. Risk,DCF and CEQ
Example
Project A is expected to produce CF = $100 mil for each of three years. Given a risk free rate of 6%, a market premium of 8%, and beta of .75, what is the PV of the project?.. Now assume that the cash flows change, but are RISK FREE. What is the new PV?
Since the 94.6 is risk free, we call it a Certainty Equivalent of the 100.

39. Risk,DCF and CEQ
Example
Project A is expected to produce CF = $100 mil for each of three years. Given a risk free rate of 6%, a market premium of 8%, and beta of .75, what is the PV of the project?.. Now assume that the cash flows change, but are RISK FREE. What is the new PV?
The difference between the 100 and the certainty equivalent (94.6) is 5.4%…this % can be considered the annual premium on a risky cash flow

40. Risk,DCF and CEQ Example
Project A is expected to produce CF = $100 mil for each of three years. Given a risk free rate of 6%, a market premium of 8%, and beta of .75, what is the PV of the project?.. Now assume that the cash flows change, but are RISK FREE. What is the new PV?

41. Risk,DCF and CEQ
The prior example leads to a generic certainty equivalent formula.
