If a firm plans to issue new stock, flotation costs (investment bankers' fees) should not be ignored. There are two approaches t

o use to account for flotation costs. The first approach is to add the sum of flotation costs for the debt, preferred, and common stock and add them to the initial investment cost. Because the investment cost is increased, the project's expected return is reduced so it may not meet the firm's hurdle rate for acceptance of the project. The second approach involves adjusting the cost of common equity as follows:
.The difference between the flotation-adjusted cost of equity and the cost of equity calculated without the flotation adjustment represents the flotation cost adjustment.

Quantitative Problem: Barton Industries expects next year's annual dividend, D1, to be $2.30 and it expects dividends to grow at a constant rate g = 4%. The firm's current common stock price, P0, is $21.30. If it needs to issue new common stock, the firm will encounter a 4% flotation cost, F. Assume that the cost of equity calculated without the flotation adjustment is 12% and the cost of old common equity is 11.5%. What is the flotation cost adjustment that must be added to its cost of retained earnings? Round your answer to 2 decimal places. Do not round intermediate calculations.

Answer:

Floating cost adjustment is 3.25%

Explanation:

Flotation-adjusted cost of equity = (Expected dividend at the end of Year 1 / Net proceeds per share) + Growth rate.

Expected dividend at the end of Year 1 (D1) = $ 2.30 (given in question)

Net proceeds per share = (21.30 - 4 % of 21.30) = $ 20.448

Flotation-adjusted cost of equity = (2.30 / 20.448) + 0.04

= 0.1125 + 0.04

= 0.1525 i.e., 15.25 %.

Flotation cost adjustment = Flotation-adjusted cost of equity - Cost of equity without flotation adjustment.

= 15.25 % - 12 % (given in question)

= 3.25 %.

Conclusion:- Flotation cost adjustment = 3.25 %

Legal Expenses $13,920 (debit)

Common Stock $2,900 (credit)

Share Premium = ($4.80 - $1.00) × 2900 shares

                          = $3.80 × 2,900

                          = $11,020
