Dillon Labs has asked its financial manager to measure the cost
of each specific type of capital as well as the weighted average
cost of capital. The weighted average cost is to be measured by
using the following weights: 30% long-term debt, 15%
preferred stock, and 55% common stock equity (retained
earnings, new common stock, or both). The firm's
tax rate is 28%.Debt The firm can sell for $1000 a 13-year,
$1,000-par-value bond paying annual interest at a 11.00% coupon
rate. A flotation cost of 3.5% of the par value is required.
Preferred stock 10.00%(annual dividend) preferred stock having a
par value of $100 can be sold for $94. An additional fee of $2
per share must be paid to the underwriters. Common
stock The firm's common stock is currently selling for $90
per share. The stock has paid a dividend that has gradually
increased for many years, rising from $3.00 ten years ago to
the $4.44 dividend payment, D0,that the
company just recently made. If the company wants to issue new new
common stock, it will sell them $1.50 below the current
market price to attract investors, and the company will pay
$3.50 per share in flotation costs.
