Explanation of Solution

Calculate the cost of debt.

 Cost of debt=Cost of debt before tax×(1Tax rate)=10%×(10.35)=10%×0.65= 6.5%

Therefore, the cost of debt is 6.5%.

Calculate the cost of preferred stock.

 Cost of preferred stock=Preference dividendPrice of preferred stock=3.3030= 11%

Therefore, the cost of preferred stock is 11%.

Calculate the cost of newly issued equity stock.

Cost ofissued stock=[Last dividend×(1+Growth rate)Net proceeds]+Growth rate=[2.10×(1.09)(55×0.9)]+0.09=0.1362= 13.62%

Therefore, the cost of newly issued equity stock is 13.62%.

Calculate the cost of equity from retained stock.

Cost of equity from retained stock=[Last dividend×(1+Growth rate)Price of share]+Growth rate=[2.10×1.0955]+0.0=0.1316= 13.16%

Therefore, the cost of equity from retained stock is 13.16%.

Conclusion

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.

Explanation of Solution

Calculate the cost of newly issued stock.

Cost of newly issued stock=[Cost of retained earnings using CAPM method+(CostofnewlyissuedequitystockCostofequityfromretainedstocks)]=[13.53 + (13.6213.16)]=13.99%

Conclusion

Hence, the cost of newly issued stock is 13.99%.

Explanation of Solution

Calculate the WACC if retained earnings are used.

WACC=(6.50×12004100)+(11×2504100)+(13.16×13504100)+(13.16×13004100)=1.9024+0.6707+4.3332+4.1727=11.079 or 11.08%

Therefore, the WACC with retained earnings is 11.08%.

Calculate the WACC if newly issued stocks are used.

WACC=(6.50×12004100)+(11×2504100)+(13.16×13504100)+(13.62×13004100)=1.9024+0.6707+4.3332+4.3185=11.2248 or 11.23%

Therefore, the WACC with newly issued stocks is 11.23%.

Conclusion

Hence, the weightage average cost of capital (WACC) from retained earnings and from newly issued stocks are calculated as above.
