1.
After tax cost of debt= Current yield to maturity*(1-Tax rate) Based on information from Current Yield on Publicly Traded Nike Debt,
Number of payment periods (N) =25*2=50 years
Present value =$95.6
Pmt=-3.375
FV=-$100
Yield to maturity= 3.56% (semi-annually), 7.12 %( annually)
After tax cost of debt = 7.12%*(1-38%)= 4.84%

Cost of equity= Market risk free rate* Market risk premium*Beta
Based on information from Current Yields on U.S Treasuries,
20-year current yields should be used as market risk free rate since it has the longest period, which is equal to 5.74%

Based on information from Historical Equity Risk Premiums,
Geometric mean should be used to calculate market risk premium, which is equal to 5.9%

Based on information from Nike Historic Betas
Most recent beta= 0.69

Cost of equity=5.74%*5.9%*0.69=9.81%

Based on information from Exhibit3 (Balance sheet)
Book value of stockholders’ equity= 3494.5

And according to our text book, capital must be provided by investors- interest bearing debt, preferred stock and common equity, accounts payable and accrued should be deducted.

    Many issues should be addressed regarding Joanna Cohen’s WACC calculation. First, to calculate the debt cost of capital, Cohen divided the total interest expense by the company’s average debt balance. This is an issue because she did not take into account the current yield on publicly traded Nike debt. Another issue that should be addressed is the calculation of the equity cost of capital. Using CAPM, Cohen took a 20 year Treasury bond as her risk free, the average Beta for the last 6 years, and a geometric mean for market premium. Also, Cohen calculated the book value of equity and debt instead of using market values.…

    Nike Executive Summary

    In Joanna’s memo to Kimi about Nike’s WACC, she calculated it to be 8.3%. She also provided some assumptions she made while developing this WACC. First, she noted that she decided to use a single cost of capital because she did not believe that other segments with Nike were large enough to make a considerable difference on the weights. She determined that Nike’s segments also did not have a significant difference in risk to justify using a multiple cost of capital. We agreed with Joanna and also used a single segment cost of capital. One difference we found between the way Joanna calculated WACC and the way we calculated Nike’s WACC was that she decided to use the book Values of debt and equity whereas we found it more beneficial to use the market values. We decided to use the market values of debt and equity because these values are considered to be long-term values. It is also important to use market value rather than book value because the market value is a better estimate of the total debt and total equity of the firm.…

    Our group was assigned to produce a report on the Nike Inc.: Cost of Capital case study as a component of Financial Engineering assignments. This case study presented a situation where Ms Kimi Ford, a portfolio manager at North Point Group, was considering buying some shares of Nike Inc. for the fund that she was managing. The reason was, after a quick sensitivity analysis of the discounted cash flow forecast, that she learned that Nike was undervalued at discount rates below 11.17%, which would make it beneficial to acquire its shares. In order to make a decision whether to buy Nike’s shares, she needed the estimation of Nike’s cost of capital. Her assistant, Ms Joanna Cohen, performed an estimation of the cost of capital by the end of the day with a result of 8.4%. Our task was to verify whether her estimation was correct and suggest our own proposal of changes.…
