  Debt: 4,500 7 percent coupon bonds outstanding, $1,000 par value, 23 years to maturity, selling for 104 percent of par; the bonds make semiannual payments and have a YTM of 6.66%.   Common stock: 112,500 shares outstanding, selling for $62 per share; the beta is 1.18.   Preferred stock: 13,000 shares of preferred stock outstanding, paying 6.5 percent on $100 of par, and currently selling for $107 per share.   Market: 8.5 percent market risk premium and 6 percent risk-free rate.

Explanation / Answer

Calculation of WACC:

Cost of Debt = YTM * (1- Tax rate) = 6.66% * (1-31%)

4.60%

Cost of Common Stock = Risk free rate + Beta * Market Risk Premium = 6% + 1.18 * 8.5% =

16.03%

Cost of Preferred Stock = Dividend / Price = (100*6.5%) / 107
