I need help with these two problems

Assignments H. J. Heinz Compute the WACC with the book value of debt for 2009 and 2010 2009 Weight of Debt Cost of Debt Typical S & P Bond Rating Yield on long-term debt Tax rate Cost of Equity Beta Market risk premium Risk free rate Cost of equity WACC Compute the WACC with the book value of debt for 2009 and 2010 for Kraft, Campbell Soup, and Del Monte Weight of Debt 2009 Cost of Debt Typical S & P Bond Rating Yield on long-term debt Tax rate Cost of Equity Beta Market risk premium Risk free rate Cost of equity WACC 2010 Directions WACC for Heinz 1.Weight of debt. See the balance sheet on page 194. For debt, use the figure for long term debt. Weight of debt = Long term debt/(Long term debt + Equity) See the balance sheet on page 194. For debt, use the figure for long term debt. For equity use the equity figures for 2009, and 2010. 2.Cost of debt. The typical S & P bond rating is BB. Look on page 195, Exhibit 12.3. Use the Moody’s Baa rating for 2009, and 2010, for the yield on long-term debt. Compute the cost of debt, using the formula, yield on long-term debt(1-tax rate), where the tax rate is 40%. 3.Cost of equity. On page 192, you will find the beta, and market risk premium. Use 2% for the risk free rate. Substitute in the CAPM formula, to get the cost of equity for Heinz. This is CAPM cost of equity = risk free rate + beta(market risk premium) 4.WACC = weight of debt*cost of debt + weight of equity*cost of equity WACC for Kraft, Campbell Soup, and Del Monte 1.Weight of debt, and weight of equity.

This is CAPM cost of equity = risk free rate + beta(market risk premium) 4.WACC = weight of debt * cost of debt + Weight of equity * cost of equity m. Use 2% for the risk free rate.
