Answer:

B. 21.8%

Explanation:

Cost of preference capital = \frac{dividend}{price}\times100

No adjustment of growth rate is done as the dividend on preference capital is constant and do not grow in normal conditions, that is it only differs in exceptional conditions.

therefore, in the given instance we have,

Dividend = $2.40

Current price = $11

Expected Return = \frac{2.40}{11.00} \times 100 = 21.8%

Thus correct option is

B. 21.8%

vfiekz [6]

Answer:

13.54%

Explanation:

Debt Equity Ratio (Debt/Equity)=0.57

Yield to Maturity (YTM) on bonds (Cost of Debt) (Kd) = 11%

Cost of Equity (Ke) = 17%

Income Tax Rate= 32%

Computation of WACC

Particulars   Proportion (1)     Cost (2)    Weighted Cost (1*2)

Equity                0.6369                 17                   10.8273

Bond (Debt)       0.3631                 7.48               <u>2.7160</u>

Total                        1                                            <u>13.5433</u>

Therefore, the WACC of Company= 13.54%

<u>Working Note 1</u>

<u>Computing Proportion</u>

Debt/Equity=0.57

Therefore Debt= 0.57 Equity

Lets assume Equity = 10

So Debt = 5.7

Hence, Proportion is as follows:  

Equity= 10/15.7 =0.6369

Debt= 5.7/15.7 = 0.3631

<u>Working Note 2</u>

After tax cost of Debt = 11 * (1 - 0.32)

After tax cost of Debt = 11 * 0.68

After tax cost of Debt = 7.48%
