2.1
Cost of Retained Earnings:
𝐷1 1 . 26 ( 1 .06 )
𝑃0 = ⇒ 40 =
𝑟−𝑔 𝑟 − 0 .06
40 𝑟 − 2 .4 = 1 .3356
40 𝑟 = 3 .7356
𝑟 = 0 . 09339
∴ 𝒓 = 𝟗 . 𝟑𝟒 %
( It is not necessary to adjust the cost of retained earnings for flotation costs because by
retaining earnings, the firm “raises” equity capital without incurring these costs.
Cost of New Ordinary Shares :
𝐷1
𝑃0 − 𝐹𝑐 =
𝑟−𝑔
Making r the subject of the formula gives:
𝐷1 1 . 26 ( 1 . 06 )
𝑟= +𝑔 = + 0 . 06 = 𝟏𝟎 . 𝟒𝟓 %
𝑃0 − 𝐹𝑐 40 − 10
Cost of Preference shares:
𝐷1
𝑃0 =
𝑟−𝑔
Since the preference dividend does not grow, 𝑔= 0
Long Term Debt:
FV=1000, PMT=0.1*1000=100, N=5, PV=-1200, P/YR=1, YTM=? 5.34%
