PRELIMINARY STUFF AND INPUTSThis spreadsheet allows you to compute the optimal capital structure for a non-financialservice firmOpen preferences in excel, go into calculation options and put a check in the iteration box.If it is already checked, leave it as is.The inputs are primarily in the input sheet. If your company has operating leases, use the operating lease worksheet to enter your lease or rental commitments.Enter all numbers in the same units (000s, millions or even billions)

Enter the most updated numbers you have for each (even if they are 12-month trailingnumbers). If the most recent period for which you have data has an operating income thatis abnormal, either because of extraordinary losses/gains or some other occurrence, usean average operating income over the last few years.

number. Alternatively, input the average maturity of the debt and I will estimate themarket value of debt. Enter the current stock price, the current risk free rate, the equity riskpremium you would like to use to estimate your cost of equity and the current rating foryour firm. If you do not have a rating, there is an option for you at the very bottom ofthe spreadsheet to compute a synthetic rating.Enter a marginal tax rate, if you can find it. Otherwise, use the marginal tax rate of countryThis spreadsheet has interest coverage ratios, ratings and default spreads built into it inthe worksheet. You can choose between two tables, one for large and stable firms, and the other for small or risky firms. If you want you can change the interestcoverage ratios and ratings in these tables.

READING THE OUTPUTThe summary provides a picture of your firm's current cost of capital and debt ratio, and compares it to your firm's optimal debt ratio and the cost of capital at that level. Thefirm value is computed at each debt ratio, based upon how the expected operating incomeand the cost of capital. The optimal debt ratio is that ratio at which firm value ismaximized. It might not be the same point at which cost of capital is minimized.The details of the calculation at each debt ratio are below the summary.

PRELIMINARY STUFF AND INPUTS

QuestionQ1: What do I do excel says there are circular references?

Q5: My cost of capital at my optimal debt ratio is higherthan the current cost of capital. I thought it was supposedto be lower.

Q6: I am getting an optimal debt ratio at a mix where my cosof capital is not minimized? Is something wrong?

Q2: My spreadsheet has gone crazy. I get errors all over. What did I do wrong?

Q3: I am entering the inputs for my company but the optimal numbers do not seem to change from the originals.

Q4: I am getting an optimal debt ratio of 0%. This can't be right. Can it?

AnswerGo into preferences, choose calculation options and make sure the iteration box has a check in it.

You probably forgot to check the iteration box (see Q1)

Sure. If your operating income is either negative or very low, relative to your firm value,you can end up at an optimal debt ratio of 0%. For instance, if you have EBIT of 100 on afirm value of 10000, a 10% debt ratio would probably push you into a C rating and giveyou a very high cost of capital.Generally, you are right. However, I would suggest that you look at three factors: - If your optimal is just slightly higher or lower than your current debt ratio, it is possible that youare closer to the optimal than the stated optimal. Let me explain. Assume that you are at a 24% debt ratioand the optimal comes out to 30%. The true optimal is really somewhere around 30% sinceI am constrained to work in 10% increments of the debt ratio. If the true optimal were26%, your current debt ratio of 24% is closer to the optimal. - Rating Differences: One of the costs of rating a company based only on the interestcoverage ratio is that the rating might be very different from the actual rating. Thus, yourcurrent cost of capital is based upon your current rating, and the optimal is based uponthe synthetic ratings, and the two don't match, the current and the optimal cost of capitalcan be mismatched. You can get around this by switching to a synthetic rating for computingthe current cost of capital (in the input sheet). - Existing debt at low rates: I assume in the spreadsheet that existing debt gets refinanced atthe new pre-tax cost of debt at each debt ratio. Consequently, if you have a lot of old debt onyour books at much lower rates, the interest expense that I report will be much higher thanyour actual interest expense. This, in turn, can affect your interest coverage ratio and rating.This, too, you can fix by locking in debt at current rates in the input sheet.Not necessarily. If you chose to build in indirect bankruptcy costs (an option on the input page),your operating income also changes as your debt ratio changes. Since the objective ultimately is to maximize firm value, it is possible that the net effect (lower cost of capital is good but it could be offsetby lower operating income) is resulting in an optimal at a higher debt ratio.

I am sorry to say this, but you probably just made an input error. While you might have fixed it, the iterations in the spreadsheet make it very sensitive and the errors will not go away. The only fix (Sorry, sorry…) is to copy the inputs into a fresh version of the spreadsheet.

Which spread/ratio table would you like to use for your anlaysis? 1

Do you want to assume that existing debt is refinanced at the 'new' rate? Yes

Do you want the firm's current rating & cost of debt to be adjusted to the synthetic ra Yes

B5

Preferably, the EBITDA for the most recent 12 months. If you don't have that, use the most recent year. If you had a bad year (negative or low EBITDA), you can use an average over time.

B6

Depr & Amort (from statement of cash flows)

B7

Capital Expenditures (from statement of cash flows). Enter this as a positive number even though it is shown as a negative number in the cashflow statement.

B8

Interest Expense (from income statement). If you have no debt, enter 0. If you do have debt and cannot find interest expenses, make an estimate by multiplying the debt by a "reasonable" interest rate.

B9

Enter the marginal or statutory tax rate for your country. Check the worksheet in this spreadsheet for marginal tax rate by country.

B10

If your company has a bond rating from S&P or Moody's, you can enter it here. If you don't, that is okay. Just pick "Not rated".

B11

You can use an actual or synthetic rating to come up with a default spread and add that spread to the risk free rate. If you don't have a rating, but have an estimate of the long term cost of borrowing now, you can enter it as well. If you don't have that either, make sure you answer "Yes" to the cell B33.

B13

Be careful to stay in same units. If earnings entered in millions, enter this in millions too. If you have more than one class of shares, use the cumulated number.

B14

Enter the most current stock price, not price as of last statement date.

B15

Enter the levered beta that you have chosen. Preferably, a bottom up beta but if you don't have one, use the regression beta.

B17

Enter the book value of all interest bearing debt on the balance sheet.

B18

Safest answer is No. If all debt is in form of traded bonds, you could answer yes.

B19

If yes, be ready to input this number. Do not include operating leases since that will be considered separately.

B20

If you can estimate maturity of debt, enter yes. The maturity of the debt should be a footnote to your financials.

B21

Enter the weighted average maturity of debt outstanding - should be in footnote to balance sheet

B22

Aswath Damodaran: If you have operating leases, you will have to fill out the operating lease worksheet.

B24

Aswath Damodaran: In the standard analysis, the operating income is assumed to stay fixed while the debt ratio (and bond rating) changes. If you feel that a declining bond rating will affect whether customers buy your products, your pricing power or your costs, enter yes. If not, enter no. If unsure, enter no and run your base case. You can always come back and enter "Yes".

B25

Aswath Damodaran: Some companies are more exposed to indirect bankruptcy costs than others. High: Companies where customers may stop buying the product if the company is perceived to be in trouble, because they are afraid that product quality may suffer or that the product has a long life and may need service/parts. Also, companies whose costs may balloon out if they are perceived to be in trouble. Medium: Companies that have a product that falls in the middle (some customer losses but not substantial) and/or a mix of products. Low: Companies where customers are unconcerned about credit quality of the company and where costs are relatively unaffected by the perception that the company is in financial trouble.

B27

Enter the current riskfree rate in the currency of analysis. If your government is default free, it will be long term government bond rate. If your government has default risk, subtract the sovereign default spread from government bond rate.

B28

This should be the equity risk premium that you will be using for your company. If the company operates in many different countries, you can use a weighted average ERP.

B29

Aswath Damodaran: If your sovereign government bond has a default spread, enter the default spread here. (If you computed the risk free rate from the same government bond, this should be the default spread you subtracted out from that bond.

B32

Aswath Damodaran: Enter 1: Large or stable 2: Small or risky firm The interest coverage ratio/ratings table is the default spreads input worksheet. You can modify them if you want.

B33

Generally safer to answer yes. If you answer no, there will be a transfer of wealth from existing bondholders to stockholders, when the firm borrows more money.

B34

If you used an actual rating, you can switch to a synthetic rating by answering yes. I will switch the current cost of debt to the cost of debt based upon the synthetic rating.
