Question
Cost of Capital The stock of Apple Inc. sells for $169.24, and last year’s dividend was $2.52. A flotation cost of 3.15% would be required to issue new common stock. Assume Apple plans to issue $1,000 million preferred stock that pays an annual preferred dividend of $3.77 per share. The new preferred stock could be sold at a price to net the company $100 per share (inclusive of flotation costs). Security analysts are projecting that the common dividend will grow at a constant rate of 5.8% a year. The firm can issue additional long- term debt at an interest rate (or a before-tax cost) of 4.5%, and its marginal tax rate is 25%. The market risk premium is 3.61%, the risk-free rate is 2.33%, and Apple’s beta is 1.40. The cost of short term debt for Apple is 0.5%.
