2 A proposal has been put to the board of directors of Semer plc that the company should increase its capital gearing
to at least 50%, in order to reduce the company’s cost of capital and increase its market value.
The managing director of Semer is not convinced by the logic of the proposal, or the accuracy of the calculations, but
is unable to explain the reasons for his reservations.
A summary of the proposal and its implications is shown below.
Proposal to increase the capital gearing of Semer plc
The company’s current weighted average cost of capital is estimated to be 10·6%. If the proportion of debt is
increased to 50% of total capital, by the repurchase of ordinary shares at their current market value, the cost of capital
may be reduced to 9·9%. A reduced cost of capital means that the value of the company will increase which will be
welcomed by our shareholders. Calculations supporting the above proposal are shown below:
(ii) The current price of Semer’s ordinary shares is 410 pence.
(iii) The market price of one 8% debenture 2010 is £112.
(iv) The market return is 10·5% and the risk free rate 4·0%.
(v) Semer’s equity beta is 1·2.
(vi) Semer currently pays £15 million in dividends.
(vii) The corporate tax rate is 30%.
(viii) The company currently generates a free cash flow of £60 million per year, which is expected to increase by
approximately 3% per year.
Required:
(a) What, if any, are the mistakes in the proposal? Correcting for any mistakes produce revised estimates of the
company’s current cost of capital and current value. Brief explanation of the reasons for any revisions should
be included. (15 marks)
