Cost

1) Determine the weighted marginal cost of capital for the following from using constant book   weights.
                                                                      Balance Sheet
                                                                  ($ millions)
                    Assets                                                                               Claims
            Current assets   $200                                                   current liabilities     $100
            Net fixed assets   400                                                     long term debt           200
                                                                      Preferred stock         100
                                                                            Common equity         200
                                  -----------                                                                             -------------- 600                                                                                         600

      30-year bonds sale price = $1,000 (face value), 8% coupon, 2% flotation costs.
      Preferred stock sale price = $30/share, $3/share annual dividend, 4% flotation costs.
      Common stock sale price = $10/share, 6%flotation cost.
      The firm’s marginal tax rate is 40%. Next year’s dividend is expected to be 75% per share and the anticipated growth rate in these dividend is 6% per year.
