The gift shop is a large online franchise. Their stock is
currently trading at $30 and paid a $3 dividend today. They expect
dividends to grow at least 2.5% per year. If they have to issue new
stock, they have to pay a floatation cost of $2 per
share.
1. find the value of the internal cost of equity
2. find the value of external cost of equity
Div1 = $3 * (1 + 2.5%) = $3.075
1) cost of internal equity
r - 0.025 = 3.075/30
r = 12.75%
2) cost of external equity
Price needs to be adjusted for floatation cost = $30 - $2 = $28
r - 0.025 = 3.075/28
r = 13.48%
