Answer of Question 11:
D1 = $3.85
G =5%
P0 = $58.46
Cost of Common Equity = D1 / P0 + g
Cost of Common Equity = $3.85 / $58.46 + 0.05
Cost of Common Equity = 0.0659 + 0.05
Cost of Common Equity = 0.1159 or 11.59%
Answer of Question 12:
Total Capital Structure= Corporate Debt + Preferred Stock +
Common Stock
Total Capital Structure = $3,586,000 + $1,350,000 +
$6,275,000
Total Capital Structure = $11,211,000
Weight of Debt = $3,586,000 / $11,211,000
Weight of Debt = 0.3199
Weight of Preferred Stock = $1,350,000 / $11,211,000
Weight of Preferred Stock = 0.1204
Weight of Common Stock = $6,275,000/ $11,211,000
