Hello, any help would be appreciated. I'm getting confused figuring out price of the bonds. The par value is 1,000.Also, I was thinking of using a beta of .58. Could you please show the work so I can double check my work to see where I got lost? Thank-you!
1. Calculate the following items for Heinz (as of the end of April). Carry work out to 2 decimal places (50 XX.xx%) 2009 2010 Short-term debt (bond) yield Long-term debt (bond) yield Cost of equity (CAPM) Cost of equity (Dividend Model) 2. Calculate the WACC for Heinz for fiscal year 2009 and 2010. What did you use for the cost of debt, the cost of equity, the weights and the tax rate in the calculation? Briefly explain why you selected those inputs (i.e. if you selected the long-term debt yield, why did you use that over the short-term debt yield or vice versa).1.
