Therefore, the cost of newly issued equity stock is 13.62%.
Calculate the cost of equity from retained stock.
Therefore, the cost of equity from retained stock is 13.16%.
Hence, the after tax cost of debt, the cost of preferred stock, the cost of equity from retained earnings, and the cost of newly issued common stock are calculated as above.

To determine: The cost of newly issued stock using CAPM method.
c.
Explanation of Solution
Calculate the cost of newly issued stock.
Hence, the cost of newly issued stock is 13.99%.
d.
To determine: The weightage average cost of capital (WACC) from retained earnings and from newly issued stocks.
d.
Explanation of Solution
Calculate the WACC if retained earnings are used.
Therefore, the WACC with retained earnings is 11.08%.
Calculate the WACC if newly issued stocks are used.
Therefore, the WACC with newly issued stocks is 11.23%.
