There are currently 400,000 shares outstanding and the stock price is $30 – there is no debt.Now suppose that the company informs you that its current debt-free capital structure corresponds to a WACC of 10% which is significantly higher than the return required of bondholders which is 6%. Redo the detailed calculation of the WACC according to M&M’s proposal II – repeat the formula for the calculation of the WACC using the BR resulting from the restructuring.
