1.
Most publicly traded corporations are required to submit 10Q
(quarterly) and 10K (annual) reports to the SEC detailing their
financial operations over the previous quarter or year,
respectively. These corporate filings are available on the SEC
website at
www.sec.gov
. Go to the SEC website, follow the “Search for company
filings” link and the “Companies & other filers” link enter
“Apple, and search for SEC filings made by Apple. Find the
most recent 10Q and 10K and download the forms. Look on the
balance sheet to find the book value of debt and the book value
of equity. If you look further down the report, you should find a
section titled either “long-term debt” or “long-term debt and
Interest Rate Risk Management” that will list a breakdown of
Apple’s long-term debt.
2.
To estimate the cost of equity for Apple, go to
finance.yahoo.com and enter the ticker symbol Apple. Follow
the various links to find answers to the following questions:
What is the most recent stock price listed for Apple? What is
the market value of equity, or market capitalization? How many
shares of stock does Apple have outstanding? What is the beta
for Apple? Now go back to finance.yahoo.com and follow the
Bonds link: what is the yield on 3-month Treasury bills? Using
a 7 percent market risk premium, what is the cost of equity for
Apple using the CAPM?
3.
Go to
www.reuters.com
and find the list of competitors in the industry. Find the beta
for each of these competitors, and then calculate the industry
average beta. Using the industry average beta, what is the cost
of equity? Does it matter if you were to use the beta for Apple
or the beta for the industry in this case?
4.
You now need to calculate the cost of debt for Apple. Go to
cxa.marketwatch.com/finra/bondcenter/default.aspx, enter
Apple as the company, and find the yield to maturity for each of
Apple’s bonds. What is the weighted average cost of debt for
Apple using the book value weights and the market value
weights? Does it make a difference in this case if you use book
value weights or market value weights?
5.
You now have all the necessary information to calculate the
weighted average cost of capital for Apple. Calculate the
weighted average cost of capital for Apple using book value
weights and market value weights assuming Apple has a 35%
marginal tax rate. Which cost of capital number is more
relevant?
6.
You used Apple as a representative company to estimate the
cost of capital for GCI. What are some of the potential problems
with this approach in this situation? What improvements might
you suggest?
