What is Technical Analysis ???
It is trading in securities, commodities, currencymarkets, etc. based on the belief that all these itemshave a recognizable pattern in their movement
These trades follow charts
They observe prices and volumes within aCHANNEL
The BUY when it crosses the SUPPORT level andSELL when it crosses the RESISTANCE level

Channels
Two parallel trend lines that act as areas of
support and resistance (more later) Any break through the channel is a break of the
trend, otherwise the price should stay in range

Price at which overwhelm consistently.When a stock makes a new high and then retraces,
sellers who missed out @ the previous peak will feelpressured to sell when price climbs back to that level.

What is the Cost of Capital?
When we talk about the cost of capital, we aretalking about the required rate of return on investedfunds
It is also referred to as a hurdle rate because this isthe minimum acceptable rate of return
Any investment which does not cover the firms costof funds will reduce shareholder wealth (just as if
you borrowed money at 10% to make an investmentwhich earned 7% would reduce your wealth)

The Appropriate Hurdle Rate: An Example
The managers of RMM Ltd. are considering the purchase of anew plot of land. The purchase price of the land isTk.10,000,000. RMMs capital structure is currently made up of
40% debt, 10% preferred stock, and 50% common equity. Thiscapital structure is considered to be optimal corporate strategyfor financing by RMM, so any new funds will need to be raisedin the same proportions.
Before making the decision, RMMs managers must determine
the appropriate required rate of return (k). What minimumrate of return will simultaneously satisfy all of the firms capitalproviders?

Financing Structure of RMM
ASSUME THE FOLLOWING COST OF FUNDS FORRMM LTD.:
Currently Debt Costs: 7%
Preferred Stocks Cost : 10%
Common Stocks Cost: 12%
Note: Common Stocks costs more than any othersources of financing, based on the theory that morethe risk, more the expected return for the investor

The following table shows three possible scenarios:
Obviously, the firm must earn at least 9.8%. Any less,and the common shareholders will not be satisfied.

The Weighted Average Cost of Capital
We now need a general way to determine theminimum required return
Recall that 40% of funds were from debt. Therefore,40% of the required return must go to satisfy thedebtholders. Similarly, 10% should go to preferredshareholders, and 50% to common shareholders
This is a weighted-average, which can be calculated
as:
WACC w k w k w k d d p p cs cs

Calculating RMMs WACC
Using the numbers from the RMM example, we cancalculate RMMs Weighted-Average Cost of Capital(WACC) as follows:
Note that this is the same as we found earlier
WACC 0 40 0 07 010 010 0 50 012 0 098. ( . ) . ( . ) . ( . ) .

Finding the Weights
The weights that we use to calculate the WACC willobviously affect the result
Therefore, the obvious question is: where do theweights come from?
There are two possibilities: Book-value weights
Market-value weights

Book-value Weights
One potential source of these weights is the firmsbalance sheet, since it lists the total amount of long-term debt, preferred equity, and common equity
We can calculate the weights by simply determiningthe proportion that each source of capital is of thetotal capital

Market-value Weights
The problem with book-value weights is that thebook values are historical, not current, values
The market recalculates the values of each type ofcapital on a continuous basis. Therefore, marketvalues are more appropriate
Calculation of market-value weights is very similarto the calculation of the book-value weights
The main difference is that we need to first calculatethe total market value (price times quantity) of eachtype of capital

Market vs Book Values
It is important to note that market-values is alwayspreferred over book-value
The reason is that book-values represent thehistorical amount of securities sold, whereas market-values represent the current amount of securitiesoutstanding
For some companies, the difference can be much
more dramatic than for RMM Finally, note that RMM should use the 10.27 WACC
in its decision making process

The Costs of Capital
As we have seen, a given firm may have more thanone provider of capital, each with its own requiredreturn
In addition to determining the weights in thecalculation of the WACC, we must determine theindividual costs of capital
To do this, we simply solve the valuation equations
for the required rates of return

The Cost of Debt
Recall that the formula for valuing bonds is:
We cannot solve this equation directly for kd, so wemust use an iterative trial and error procedure
Note that (in real life) kd is not the appropriate cost ofdebt to use in calculating the WACC, instead weshould use the after-tax cost of debt

The After-tax Cost of Debt
Recall that interest expense is tax deductible
Therefore, when a company pays interest, the actualcost is less than the expense
As an example, consider a company in the 34%marginal tax bracket that pays Tk.1000 in interest
The companys after-tax cost is only Tk.660. Theformula is:
After tax k Before tax k td d 1

Flotation Costs
When a company sells securities to the public, it mustuse the services of an investment banker
The investment banker provides a number of servicesfor the firm, including: Setting the price of the issue, and
Selling the issue to the public
The cost of these services are referred to as flotation
costs, and they must be accounted for in the WACC Generally, we do this by reducing the proceeds from
the issue by the amount of the flotation costs, andrecalculating the cost of capital

Simply subtract the flotation costs (f) from the priceof the bonds, and calculate the cost of debt as usual:

A Note on Flotation Costs
The amount of flotation costs are generally quite lowfor debt and preferred stock (often 1% or less of theface value)
For common stock, flotation costs can be as high as25% for small issues, for larger issue they will bemuch lower
Note that flotation costs will always be given, but
they may be given as a dollar amount, or as apercentage of the selling price

The Cost of Retained Earnings
The firm may choose to finance new projects usingonly internally generated funds (retained earnings)
These funds are not free because they belong to thecommon shareholders (i.e., there is an opportunitycost)
Therefore, the cost of retained earnings is exactly thesame as the cost of new common equity, except that
there are no flotation costs:
