NHD Company is interested in measuring its overall cost of capital. Current investigation has gathered the following data. The company is in a 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 this issue, an average discount of $30 per bond would have to be given to investors. The company also must pay flotation costs of $30 per bond.

Preferred Stock: The company can sell 8% preferred stock at its $95 per-share value. The cost of issuing and selling the preferred stock is expected to be $5.00 per share.

Common Stock: The companys common stock is currently selling for $90 per share. The firm expects to pay cash dividends of $7.00 per share next year. The firms dividends have been growing at an annual rate of 6%, and this growth is expected to continue into the future. The stock must be underpriced by $7.00 per share, and flotation costs are expected to amount to $5.00 per share.

Retained earnings: when measuring this cost, the firm does not concern itself with the tax bracket or brokerage fees of owners. It expects to have available $100,000 of retained earnings in the coming year; once these retained earnings are exhausted, the firm will use new common stock as the form of common stock equity financing.

Q1- Calculate the specific cost of each source of financing.

Q2- The firms capital structure weights used in calculating its weighted average cost of capital are shown in the table below.

Source of capital	Weight
Long term debt	20%
Preferred stock	30%
Common stock equity	50%
Total	100%

1. Calculate the single break point associated with the firms financial situation.( Hint: this point results from exhaustion of the firms retained earnings)
2. Calculate the weighted average cost of capital associated with total new financing below the break point calculated in part (1)
3. Calculate the weighted average cost of capital associated with total new financing above the break point calculated in part (1)
