Answer: The rate of return on common stockholder’s equity is 23%.
Explanation:
Given that,
Net Income = $50,000
Preferred Dividends = 8,000
Average Common Stockholder’s Equity = 180,000
Average number of Common Shares Outstanding = 250,000 shares
Market Price = $2 per share

Answer:
6.53%
Explanation:
For computing the after cost of debt we need to use the RATE formula i.e to be shown in attached spreadsheet. Kindly find it below:
Given that,
Present value = $1,050.76
Future value or Face value = $1,000
PMT = 1,000 × 10% = $100
NPER = 5 years
The formula is shown below:
= Rate(NPER;PMT;-PV;FV;type)
The present value come in negative
So, after applying this above formula
1. The pretax cost of debt is 8.70
2. And, the after tax cost of debt would be
= Pretax cost of debt × ( 1 - tax rate)
= 8.70% × ( 1 - 0.25)
= 6.53%
