Recently, though, capital costs have been declining, and the company has decided to look seriously at a major expansion program that has been proposed by the marketing department. Assume that you are an assistant to Leigh Jones, the financial vice president. Your first task is to 0 estimate Jana's cost of capital. Jones has provided you with the following data, which she believes may be relevant to your task: 12 (1) The firm's tax rate is 35%. 14 (2) The current price of Jana's 11% coupon, semiannual payment, noncallable bonds with 15 years remaining to maturity is $1,153.72. Jana 15 does not use short-term interest-bearing debt on a permanent basis. New bonds would be privately placed with no flotation cost. 16 (3) The current price of the firm's 10%, $100 par value, quarterly dividend, perpetual preferred stock is $116.95. Jana would incur flotation 17 costs equal to 5% of the proceeds on a new issue. (4) Jana's common stock is currently selling at $50 per share. Its last dividend (D) was $3.10, and dividends are expected to grow at a constant rate of 5.8% in the foreseeable future. Jana's beta is 1.2, the yield on T-bonds is 5.6%, and the market risk premium is estimated to 19 be 6%. For the own-bond-yield-plus-judgmental-risk-premium approach, the firm uses a 3% judgmental risk premium. 20 (5) Jana's target capital structure ls 35% long-term debt, 10% preferred stock, and 55% common equity. 22 To help you structure the task, Leigh Jones has asked you to answer the following questions 18 21 23 24 26 25 ..
