Answer:

9.62%

Explanation:

The firm cost of preferred stock can be calculated as follows

Dividend= $8

Price= $87.50

Floation cost= 5%

= 5/100

= 0.05

= 8/87.50(1-0.05)

= 8/87.50(0.95)

= 8/83.125

= 0.0962×100

= 9.62%

Hence the firm cost of preferred stock is 9.62%

katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

11.86%

Explanation:

Piedmont hotels can be described as an all-equity company

Its stock has a beta of 0.82

The market risk premium is 6.9%

The risk free rate is 4.5%

The adjustment is 1.7%

Therefore, the required rate of return can be calculated as follows

Required rate of return= Risk free rate of return + ( beta×market risk premium) + adjustment

= 4.5% + (0.82×6.9%) + 1.7%

= 4.5% + 5.658 + 1.7%

= 11.86%

Hence the required rate of return for the project is 11.86%
