Your task is to determine CDW's current cost of equity. Since the company is not yet publicly traded , you need to estimate its cost of equity from a set of comparable companies. Use ‘Hamada's Equation' to adjust for the impact of corporate debt on a firm's cost of equity.
Assume that CDW's target debt ratio, D/(E+D), is similar to its ratio of ‘long-term liabilities' to ‘total assets', that is, $3.731B/$5.700B ≈ 65%.
Question 1: While adjusting for each firm's debt level, estimate CDW's cost of equity based on the following 5 companies:
