Strategic Financial Management

Question 1

1.1 Cost of Capital Calculation (5 Marks)

To determine the cost of capital that GIC should use in evaluating the options, we will
calculate the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC). Given the information:

 Debt-to-equity ratio: 1:3 (hence, Debt = 25%, Equity = 75%)
 Company Tax Rate: 30%
 Beta (β): 0.75
 Risk-free rate (South Africa Treasury Bond): 6.5%
 Market rate of return: 10%
 Cost of debt: 8%

Steps to calculate WACC:

1. Cost of Equity (Ke): Using the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM):

Ke=Risk−free rate+β×(Market return−Risk−free rate)

Ke=Risk−free rate+β×(Market return−Risk−free rate)

Ke=6.5%+0.75×3.5%=6.5%+2.625%=9.125%

2. After-tax Cost of Debt (Kd):
