The Wildhorse Products Co. currently has debt with a
market value of $275 million outstanding. The debt consists of
9 percent coupon bonds (semiannual coupon payments) which have a
maturity of 15 years and are currently priced at $1,445.45 per
bond. The firm also has an issue of 2 million preferred shares
outstanding with a market price of $19 per share. The
preferred shares pay an annual dividend of
$1.20. Wildhorse also has 14 million shares of common
stock outstanding with a price of $20.00 per share. The firm is
expected to pay a $2.20 common dividend one year from today, and
that dividend is expected to increase by 4 percent per
year forever. If Wildhorse is subject to a 40 percent
marginal tax rate, then what is the firm’s weighted average cost of
capital?
