Calculation of individual costs and WACC Dillon Labs has asked its financial manager to measure the cost of each specific type of capital as well as the weighted average cost of capital. The weighted average cost is to be measured by using the followingweights: 35% long-term debt, 25% preferredstock, and 40% common stock equity(retained earnings, new commonstock, orboth). Thefirm's tax rate is 27%.

Debt The firm can sell for $1005 a 18-year, $1,000-par-value bond paying annual interest at a 9.00% coupon rate. A flotation cost of 2.5% of the par value is required.

Preferred stock8.00% (annual dividend) preferred stock having a par value of $100 can be sold for $88. An additional fee of $6 per share must be paid to the underwriters.

Common stockThefirm's common stock is currently selling for $70 per share. The stock has paid a dividend that has gradually increased for manyyears, rising from $2.70 ten years ago to the $4.00 dividendpayment, D0, that the company just recently made.
