Answer:
d.9.34%
Explanation:
The formula for the weighted average cost of capital is provided below as a starting point for solving this question:
WACC=(weight of equity*cost of equity)+(weight of debt*after-tax cost of debt)
weight of equity=1-debt %=1-50%=50%
weight of debt=50%
cost of equity=13.6%
after-tax cost of debt=7.8%*(1-35%)
after-tax cost of debt=5.07%
WACC=(50%*13.6%)+(50%*5.07%)
WACC=9.34%
The discount rate is computed based on the target or preferred capital structure

Answer:
The firm's cost of preferred stock is 9.10%
Explanation:
The cost of preferred stock with the flotation of 5% would be the dividend payable by the preferred stock divided by the adjusted current market price(adjusted for flotation cost)
The dividend per year is $8
The adjusted price of the stock=$92.50*(1-f)
where f is the flotation cost in percentage terms i.e 5%
adjusted price of the stock is =$92.50*(1-5%)=$ 87.88
Cost of preferred stock=$8/$87.88*100 = 9.10%
