price per share of the company's stock is $53.28
Explanation:
Under dividend growth model a stock is overvalued or undervalued assuming that the firm’s expected dividends grow at a value g forever, which is subtracted from the required rate of return or k.
Therefore, the stable dividend growth model formula calculates the fair value of the stock as P =D1 / ( k – g ).
P= price per share
D1 = current dividend
k = required return
g = growth rate
P= $3.41 ÷ (11 % - 4.6% ) =( 3.41 ÷ 0.064 )= $53.28

Journal Entry to record the first interest payment
June 30, 2019
Dr. Interst Expense $19,979.32
Dr. Premium on Bond $1,620.68
Cr. Cash $21,600
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the premium on bond amortization as follow
Premium on bond amortization = Coupon Payment - Interest Expense
Premium on bond amortization = ( $480,000 x 8% x 6/12 ) - ( $499,483 x 8% x 6/12 )
Premium on bond amortization = $21,600 - $19,979.32
Premium on bond amortization = $1,620.68
Answer:
To calculate the after-tax cost of debt, multiply the before-tax cost of debt by <u>(1 - tax rate)</u>.
Water and Power Company (WPC) can borrow funds at an interest rate of 10.20% for a period of four years. Its marginal federal-plus-state tax rate is 45%. WPC's after-tax cost of debt is <u>= 10.20% x (1 - 45%) = 5.61%</u>.
At the present time, Water and Power Company (WPC) has 15-year noncallable bonds with a face value of $1,000 that are outstanding. These bonds have a current market price of $1,329.55 per bond, carry a coupon rate of 12%, and distribute annual coupon payments. The company incurs a federal-plus-state tax rate of 45%. If WPC wants to issue new debt, what would be a reasonable estimate for its after-tax cost of debt (rounded to two decimal places)?
<u>B. 4.47%</u>
pre-tax cost of debt = bond's yield to maturity
approximate YTM = {120 + [(1,000 - 1,329.55)/15] / [(1,000 + 1,329.55)/2] = 98.03 / 1,164.775 = 0.08416 = 8.416%
approximate after tax cost of debt = 8.4% x (1 - 45%) = 4.62 = 4.62
since I used the approximate yield to maturity, my answer is not exact. That is why I have to look for the closest available option.
