    Calculate the Marginal Cost of Capital Based on the following information.

    Price per share of Common Stock $45
    Price per share of Preferred Stock $60
    Price per Bond ($1000 par value) $865
    Number of shares of Common Stock Outstanding 2,300,000
    Number of shares of Preferred Stock Outstanding 500,000
    Number of Bonds Outstanding 60,000
    Coupon Rate on Bonds 5%
    Time Remaining Until Maturity for Bonds 15 years
    Marginal Tax Rate 25%
    Par Value of Preferred Stock $50
    Dividend Rate on Preferred Stock 9%
    Common Stock Dividend (D1) $3.00
    Dividend Growth Rate (Common) 6%
    Risk-Free Rate 5%
    Beta 1.2
    Expected Return on the Market 12%
    Risk Premium on Stocks over Bonds 4.50%

    Step 1: Find the Weights

    MVdebt =60,000*865 = $51,900,000
    MVpreferred = 500,000*$60 = $30,000,000
    MVcommon = 2,300,000*45 = $103,500,000
    MV TOTAL = $185,400,000

    Wdebt = 51,900,000/185,400,000 = 0.28
    Wpref = 30,000,000/185,400,000 = 0.16
    Wcom = 103,500,000/185,400,000 = 0.56

    Step 2: Find the after-tax cost of debt

    Find YTM

    Set Financial Calculator to 2 Periods Per Year
    30 N
    -865 PV
    25 PMT
    1000 FV
    Solve for I/Y = 6.41%

    Convert to After-tax Cost ki = YTM*(1-T)

    ki = 6.41%*(1 – 0.25)
    ki = 4.81%

    Step 3: Find the cost of preferred stock

    kp = D/P
    kp = ($50*.09)/$60
    kp = $4.50/$60
    kp = 7.50%

    Step 4: Find the cost of common stock

    Method One — Dividend Valuation Approach

    ks = (D1/P) + g
    ks = ($3.00/$45.00) + 0.06
    ks = 0.0667 + 0.06
    ks = 12.67%

    Method Two – Security Market Line (SML)

    \[
    k_s=k_{R F}+\beta\left(\overline{k_m}-k_{R F}\right)
    \notag \]

    ks = 5% + 1.20(12% – 5%)
    ks = 5% + 1.20(7%)
    ks = 5% + 8.4%
    ks = 13.4%

    Method Three — Bond Yield + Risk Premium

    ks = YTM + RP
    ks = 6.41% + 4.5%
    ks = 10.91%

    Take an average of the three methods to get cost of common stock financing

    ks = (12.67% + 13.40% + 10.91%)/3
    ks = 36.98/3
    ks = 12.33%

    Step 5: Calculate the MCC

    MCC = (Wdebt )(ki) + (Wpref)(kp) + (Wcom)(ks)
    MCC = (0.28*4.81) + (0.16*7.50) + (0.56*12.33)
    MCC = 1.35 + 1.20 + 6.90
    MCC = 9.45%
