Answer:
Firm's weighted average cost of capital = 6.12%
Explanation:
CV = Common equity value = Number of shares of common stock outstanding * Common stock market price per share = 25,000 * $48 = $1,200,000
PV = Preference share value = Number of shares of preference stock outstanding * Preferred stock market price per share = 12,000 * $62 = $744,000
DV = Debt value = Outstanding bonds market value = (Total face value / Face value per bond) * Market price per bond = ($750,000 / $1,000) * $1,011.92 = $758,940
VF = Value of the firm = CV + PV + DV = $1,200,000 + $744,000 + $758,940 = $2,702,940
WC = Weight of common share = CV / VF = $1,200,000 / $2,702,940 = 0.4440
WP = Weight of preference share value = PV / VF = $744,000 / $2,702,940 = 0.2753
WD = Weight of debt = DV / VF = $758,940 / $2,702,940 = 0.2808
ND = Next dividend = Annual dividend * (100% + Growth rate) = $2.20 * (100% + 2.5%) = $2.255
CE = Cost of common stock = (ND + (Common stock market price per share * Growth rate)) / Common stock market price per share = (2.255 + (48 *2.5%)) / 48 = 0.0720
ATCD = After tax cost of debt = This is obtained by imputing this function in a cell in an excel sheet “=Rate(Number of years maturity * 2,((Bond interest rate/2)*Bond Par value),-Bond selling price,Bond par value)*2*(1 - Tax rate)”. That is, input “=RATE(13*2, ((7%/2)*1000),- 1,011.92,1000)*2*(1-34%)” in a cell in an excel sheet and press enter (as done in the attached excel file). This gives 4.53%.
CP = Cost of preference stock = Dividend rate = 6%
Firm's weighted average cost of capital = (WC * CE) + (WP * CP) + (WD * ATCD) = (0.4440 * 0.0720) + (0.2753 * 6%) + (0.2808 * 4.53%) = 0.0612, or 6.12%
