Answer:
9.72%
Explanation:
Maturity = 34
Par-value = -1000
Coupon rate = 6%
Coupon PMT = -60
Value of bond = 1152
Semi-annual Yield = Rate(34, -60, 1162, -1000, 0, 0)
Semi-annual Yield = 5.00%
Annual Yield = 10%
Tax rate = 40%
After tax cost of debt = 10*(1-0.4)= 6%: Add: Flotation cost (5%) = 11%
Cost of preferred stock = Dividend/Price = 12/120 = 10%
Cost of equity = Risk free rate + Beta*Market risk premium
Cost of equity = 3.72 + 0.94*6
Cost of equity = 9.36%
