Explanation / Answer

Cost of common equity(DCF) = Currnet year dividend/Market price + Growth rate

                                    Current year dividend is = Last year dividend*(1+g)

                                                                              = $2.10*(1+0.09)

                                                                              = $2.10*(1.09)

                                                                              = $2.289

                              Cost of common equity = $2.289/$55 + 0.09

                                                                         = 0.0416 +0.09

                                                                         = 0.01316

                                                                          =13.16%

Cost of newly issued common stock:

                              For calculating newly issued common stock, here we have to deduct the Flotation charges. Flotation charges are 10% on market price of the common stock.

                        Flotation charges = 10%*$55

                                                       = $5.5

                  New market price is = $55 - $5.5

                                                      =$49.5

                  Cost of newly issued common stock = $2.289/$49.5 + 0.09

                                                                                 = 0.0462 +0.09

                                                                                 = 0.1362

                                                                                 = 13.62%

Cost of preferred stock:

                        Cost of preferred stock = Preferred dividend/Market price of preferred stock

                                                                  = $3.30/$30

                                                                  = 0.11

                                                                  = 11%

Cost of debt:

                      Here, cost of debt before taxes is 10%.

                                 Cost of debt after taxes = Cost of debt before taxes*(1-tax rate)

                                                                          = 10%*(1-0.35)

                                                                          = 10%*0.65

                                                                          = 6.5%

                                       Therefore cost of debt after-taxes is 6.5%

Calulation of WACC:

               WACC = Cost of debt after-taxes*Propotion of debt + Cost of equity*propotion of equity+Cost of preferred stock*propotion of preferred stock

      Market value of total debt, equity and preferred stock    = 500

                     Proportion of debt = Value of debt/Total value of firm

                                                      = 1200/5000

                                                      = 0.24

                     Proportion of equity = Value of equity/Total value of firm

                                                        = 2650/5000

                                                        = 0.53

                  Proportion of preferred stock   = Value of preferred stock/Total value of firm

                                                                        = 250/5000

                                                                         = 0.05

                  WACC     = 6.5%*0.24 + 13.62%*0.53+11%*0.05

                                    = 1.56%+7.2186%+0.55%

                                    =9.3286%
