Question 3
Lang Enterprises is interested in measuring its overall cost of capital. Current investigation has gathered the following data. The firm is in the 40% tax bracket.
Debt: The firm can raise debt by selling $1,000-par-value, 8% coupon interest rate, 20-year bonds on which annual interest payments will be made. To sell the issue, an average discount of $30 per bond would have to be given. The firm also must pay flotation costs of $30 per bond.
Preferred stock: The firm can sell 8% preferred stock at its $95-per-share par value. The cost of issuing and selling the preferred stock is expected to be $5 per share. Preferred stock can be sold under these terms.
Existing Common stock: The firm’s common stock is currently selling for $90 per share. The firm expects to pay cash dividend of $7 per share next year growing at a constant rate indefinitely. Lang Enterprise’s ROE is 10% and maintain a payout ratio of 40%
