Answer:
8.30%
Explanation:
The weighted average cost of capital of the company is computed using the WACC formula below:
WACC=(We*Ke)+(Wp*Kp)+(Wd*kd)
We=weight of common equity=50%
Ke=cost of retained earnings which is a proxy for the cost of equity=11.50%
Wp=weight of preferred stock=20%
Kp=cost of preferred stock=6.00%
Wd=weight of debt=30%
Kd=after-tax cost of debt=4.50%
WACC=(50%*11.50%)+(20%*6.00%)+(30%*4.50%)
WACC=8.30%
Answer:
The market rate of return on the stock is 12.55%
Explanation:
Computing the market rate of return on the stock is as:
Selling price of common stock = Expected price per share / (Rate of return [R] - Dividend)
where
Selling price of common stock is $26.46
Expected price per share is $2.00 per share
Dividend is 5.0%
Putting the values above:
$26.46 = $2.0 / (R - 5%)
$26.46 = $2.0 / (R - 0.05)
R - 0.05 = $2.0 / $26.46
R - 0.05 = 0.0755
R = 0.0755 + 0.05
Rate of return = 0.1255 or 12.55%
