How do you find bond price?
PV of Principal + PV of interest payments

Example Problem of Weighted Marginal Cost of Capital
A company is considering a project with an initial cost of $15,000,000 and an expected internal rate of return of 11.5%. The amount of retained earnings in the last financial quarter is $3,000,000 at a cost of 15.7%. A bank has offered a $12,000,000 loan at a 9.5% interest rate. The corporate tax rate is 25%.
Should the company management accept the project?
Step 1: Define WMCC
[weighted average of capital source of fund 1 cost of source 1] + [weight of capital source of fund 2 * cost of source 2}
if source is a debt, like a loan, * (1-tax rate)
Step 2:
do each piece separately
Step 3: add all the pieces together
Step 4: is this < or > IRR? Accept ONLY IF < IRR
Since the cost of capital is lower than the IRR, the company should accept the project.
Weighted Marginal Cost of Capital
Cost of raising additional capital
Constant Growth Dividend Discount Model
Tells us today’s stock price
P0 = D1/(r - g)
where P0 is stock price today, r is firm’s required rate of return, and g is growth rate of firm and D1 is dividends paid per share
