During the last few years, Harry Davis Laboratories has been too constrained by the high cost of capital to make many capital investments. Recently, though, capital costs have been declining, and the company has decided to look seriously at a major expansion program that had been proposed by the marketing department. Assume that you are an assistant to Leigh Jones, the financial vice president. Your first task is to estimate Harry Davis's cost of capital. Jones has provided data that she believes is relevant to your task. (1) The firm's tax rate is 30 percent. (2) The current price of Harry Davis's 12 percent coupon, semiannual payment, noncallable bonds with 15 years remaining to maturity is $1,153.72. Harry Davis does not use short-term interest-bearing debt on a permanent basis. New bonds would be privately placed with no flotation costs. (3) The current price of the firm's 10 percent, $100 par value, quarterly dividend, perpetual preferred stock is $116.95. Harry Davis would incur flotation costs equal to 5 percent of the proceeds on a new issue. (4) Harry Davis's common stock is currently selling at $50 per share. Its last dividend (DO) was $3.12, and dividends are expected to grow at a constant rate of 5.8 percent in the foreseeable future. Harry Davis's beta is 1.2, the yield on T-bonds is 5.6 percent, and the market risk premium is estimated to be 6 percent. For the debt-cost-plus-risk-premium approach, the firm uses a 3.2 percentage point risk premium. (5) Harry Davis's target capital structure is 30 percent long-term debt, 10 percent preferred stock, and 60 percent common equity. To help you structure the task, Leigh Jones has asked you to answer the following questions. e. What is the cost of equity based on the debt-cost-plus-risk-premium method? f. What is your final estimate for the cost of equity? g. What is Harry Davis's corporate cost of capital (CCC)? h. Harry Davis estimates that if it issues new common stock, the flotation cost will be 15 percent. Harry Davis incorporates the flotation costs into the DCF approach. What is the estimated cost of newly issued common stock, taking into account the flotation cost? i. Suppose Harry Davis issues 30-year debt with a par value of $1,000 and a coupon rate of 10 percent, paid annually. If flotation costs are 2 percent, what is the after-tax cost of debt for the new bond
