Explanation / Answer

A)- United Business Forms Capital Structure Debt 35% Aftertax Cost of Debt 7% Preferred Stock 15% Cost of Preferred Stock 10% Common Equity 50% Cost of Common Equity 13%

Solution: Cost (aftertax) Weights Weighted Cost Debt (Kd) =0.35 *7 =2.45%

Weighted Preferred Stock (Kp) =.15*10 = 1.5%

Weighted Common Equity (Ke)= 0.50*13 =6.5%

Weighted Average Cost of Capital (Ka) =Weighted Cost Debt + Weighted Preferred Stock + Weighted Common Equity = 10.45%


(B)- Riley Coal Co. Aftertax Cost of Debt Yield 10.6%

Solution: Corporate Tax Rate = T 35%

Dividend = Dp $4.40

Price of Preferred Stock =Pp $50

Aftertax Cost of Preferred Stock Floatation Cost = F $2.00


Based on the facts above, the treasurer is not correct ,Aftertax Cost of Debt Yield 12.8%.


(C)- North Pole Cruise Lines Annual Dividend $8.00 Original Required Rate of Return 8% New Required Rate of Return 6%

Solution: a) ORIGINAL PRICE Price of Preferred Stock = $8/8% =$100

b) Revised Price of Preferred Stock = $8/6% = $133.33


(D)- Tom Cruise Lines, Inc. Par Value $1,000 Real Rate of Return 3% Interest 12% Inflation Rate 5% Time to Maturity=n 20 Risk Premium 4% Yield to Maturity = i Total Return Annuity = A PVIFA Inflation Rate in 5 years 3% PVIF

Solution: new required rate of return (yield to maturity)= 10%

Real Rate of Return = 3%

Inflation Rate = 3%

Risk Premium = 4%

Present Value of Interest Payments = A * PVIFA Present Value of Interest Payments = 120 * PVIFA (12%,5) + Present Value of {120*PVIFA(10%,15)} = 120*3.6048 + 120*7.6061 =$1345.308

Present Value of Principal Payment at Maturity = FV * PVIF Present Value of Principal Payment at Maturity

= $1000 * PVIF (10%,15) *PVIF (12%,5)

= $1000 *0.2393* 0.5674

= $135.83

Total Present Value or Price of the Bond = $1481.14
