Waterway industries, has 4700 shares of 5%, $50 par value, cumulative preferred stock and 100000 shares of $1 par value common s
e-lub [12.9K]

Since the preferred stocks are cumulative in nature, the dividend amount not paid in the current year will be accumulated and paid in the next year.

Preferred dividend to be paid in 2017 = Value of preferred stock x Dividend rate

= (4700 x $50) x 5%

= 11750

Dividend to be paid in 2018 = same as 2017 as no new preferred stock issued

= 11750

Total dividend to be paid in 2018 = Dividend to be paid in 2018 + Dividend to be paid in 2017 – Dividend paid in 2017

= 11750 +11750 -7900

= $15600

A bond with a $1,000 par value sells for $895. The coupon rate is 7%, the bonds mature in 20 years, and coupon interest is paid
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

After tax cost of debt is 5.239%

Explanation:

Given:

Face value = $1,000

Bond price = $895

Coupon payments = 0.035×1,000 = $35 (coupon payment is paid semi-annually so 7% is divided by 2)

Maturity = 20×2 = 40 periods

Using bond price formula:

Bond price = Present value of face value + present value of coupon payments

Use excel function =RATE(nper,pmt,PV,FV) to calculate cost of debt.

substituting the values:

=RATE(40,35,-895,1000)

we get Pre-Tax cost of debt = 4.03% semi- annual

Annual rate is 4.03%×2 = 8.06%

Note: PV is negative as bond price is cash outflow.

After tax cost of debt = 8.06(1 - 0.35)

                                     = 5.239%
