A bond that has $1,000 par value (face value) and a contract or coupon interest rate of 11 percent. A new issue would have a floatation cost of 6 percent of the $1,140 market value. The bonds mature in 13 years. The firm's average tax rate is 30 percent and its marginal tax rate is 34 percent. b. A new common stock issue that paid a $1.60 dividend last year. The par value of the stock is $15, and earnings per share have grown at a rate of 8 percent per year This growth rate is expected to continue into the foreseeable future.

Internal common equity when the current market price of the common stock is $48. The expected dividend this coming year should be $3.40, increasing thereafter at an annual growth rate of 7 percent. The corporation's tax rate is 34 percent. d. A preferred stock paying a dividend of 8 percent on a $100 par value.
