zimovet [89]

Answer:

12.75 %

Explanation:

Cost of Capital is calculated on a Weighted Average basis. This is because there is a Pooling of Funds when it comes to financing projects. So Cost of Capital is the Return that is Required by providers of Long Term source of finance.

Cost of Capital = E/V × Ke + D/V × Kd

Where,

E/V = Market Weight of Equity

Ke = Cost of Equity

    = 15%

D/E = Market Weight of Debt

      = 0.45

Kd = Cost of Debt

     = 10%

Therefore,

Cost of Capital = 0.55 × 15% +  0.45 × 10%

                         = 12.75 %

postnew [5]

Answer: $27.47

Explanation:

Given: Growth rate =  4.70% per year = 0.0470 per year

Dividend of next year = $2.50

Expected rate of return on Stock =  13.80% =0.1380

Current price = (Dividend of next year ) ÷ (Expected rate - Growth rate)

= (2.50)÷ (0.1380-0.0470)

= (2.50) ÷ (0.091)

≈  $27.47

Hence,   you will pay  $27.47 for the company's stock today.
