R Company operates a chain of restaurants located in the metropolis.   The company has steadily grown to its present size of 48 restaurants.   The board of directors recently approved a large-scale remodeling of the restaurant, and the company is now considering two financing alternatives. 1.         The first alternative would consist of -           Bonds that would have 9% coupon rate and would net P19.2 million after flotation costs. -           Preferred stock with a stated rate of 6% that would yield P4.8 million after a 4% flotation cost. -           Ordinary share that would yield P24 million after a 5% flotation cost. 2.         The second alternative would consist of a public offering of bonds that would have an 11% coupon rate and would net P48 million after flotation costs.   R’s current capital structure, which is considered optimal, consists of 40% long-term debt, 10% preferred stock, and 50% common stock. The current market value of the common stock is P30 per share, and the common stock dividend during the past 12 months was P3 per share.   Investors are expecting the growth rate of dividends to equal the historical rate of 6%.   R is subject to an effective income tax rate of 40%. The after-tax cost of the common stock proposed in R’s first financing alternative   would be. 17.16% 16.05 16.53% 16.60% Assume that nominal interest has just increased substantially but that the expected future dividends for a company over the long run were not affected.   As a result of the increase in nominal interest rates, the company’s stock price should.
