a. What is MME's current WACC? Round your answer to 2 decimal places. Do not round intermediate calculations.
%
b. What is the current beta on MME's common stock? Round your answer to 4 decimal places. Do not round intermediate calculations.
c. What would MME's beta be if the company had no debt in its capital structure? (That is, what is MME's unlevered beta, bU?) Round your answer to 4 decimal places. Do not round intermediate calculations.
MME's financial staff is considering changing its capital structure to 45% debt and 55% equity. If the company went ahead with the proposed change, the yield to maturity on the company's bonds would rise to 7%. The proposed change will have no effect on the company's tax rate.
d. What would be the company's new cost of equity if it adopted the proposed change in capital structure? Round your answer to 2 decimal places. Do not round intermediate calculations.
