Cost of Debt

Cost of debt is that discounting rate at which present value of all future net cash

flows is equal to net cash inflow at the time of raising the debt.



There are three different situations regarding computation of cost of debt. (1)

Irredeemable debts, (2) Debts redeemable after certain period in lump sum, (3)

Debts redeemable in installments.

 

1)Irredeemable debt:



                              Annual interest (1 - Tax rate)

Cost of debt =————————————------× 100

                           Net proceeds of debt

 

2)Debt redeemable after certain period:

                                                (RV – NP)

          Annual Int. (I – T) + —————

                                                        N

Kd =————————————————————— × 100

                                  NP + RV

                                    ———

                                        2

3)Debts redeemable in installments

the way of solving 3rd one interpolation method.

Kd = Cost of debt, T = Tax rate

RV = Redeemable value of debt

NP = Net proceeds of debt issue

i got the first one .Its.Sum of GP series to infinity.

Second fomula i dint get it.

lastly i want to knw why can there be a derived formula for last case i e Debts redeemable in installments

i want the derivation of the second formula.

 

Cost of Debt is:

(i) return (Annual return in %) to Debt investor which he will get from the company. (Investor point of view)

(ii) expense (Annual expense in %) payable by the company to investor. (companies point of view).

Under both, cost of debt is same. All the three formula mention by you is derived on the basis of that concept only.

Example-1: To understand return to investor:

Suppose a person invested100 today and get10 at one year end and also get back100 principle at one year end. what will be the Annual return in %?

Return = Annual Earning/Investment  = [Rs 10 + (100-100)]/100 = 10%

 

Example-2 To understand return to investor:

Suppose a person invested100 today and get rs 10 at one year end, Rs 10 at 2nd year end and also get back110 principle at 2nd year end then what will be the Annual return in %?

Return = Annual Earning/ Investment = [Rs 10 + (110-100)/2]/100 = 15%.

There was no derivation of 2nd formula. only concept is there. Your 2nd formula is based on Example-2.

Why we devided 110-100 by 2?  because we get value appreciation of10 in 2 year then what will be the appreciation for 1 year, it is5. As we are calculating annual reuturn we have to take only one year earnings.

But remember that we ignored time value of money in above example. That's why the cost of debt calulated in 2nd formula is approximate and not exact formula. This formula is applicable upto IPCC level only in Final that formula is not acceptable.

 

It is not possible to explain all the concept here.

 

Firstly Thanx for ur reply,

Certainly You are Biggest Asset CCI is having ,as far as SFM is concerned. :)

I knew the concept of earnings in formula 2 ,but wanted to knw whether formula 2 was actually dervied.Now got to knw its just an approximation and not derived.

conclusion:effectively @ Final level formula no 2 is not applicable as it is an approximation.

So to find out the cost of debt @ final level except formula 1:

We literally ve to find the discounting rate at which present value of all future net cash
flows is equal to net cash inflow at the time of raising the debt.

correct?
