Problem 1 - Cost of Capital Bob-Bye, Inc. 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 WACC is to be measured by using the following weights:: 40% long-term debt, 10% preferred stock, and 50% common stock equity (retained earnings, new common stock, or both). The firm’s tax is 30%. Debt: The firm can sell for P980, a 10-year, P1,000 par value bond paying annual interest at a 13% coupon rate. A flotation cost of 3% of the par value is required in addition to the discount of P20 per bond. Preferred Stock: 8 percent (annual divided) preferred stock having a par value of P100 can be sold for P65.  An additional fee of P2 per share must be paid to the underwriters. Common Stock: The firm’s common stock is currently selling for P50 per share. The dividend expected to be paid at the end of the coming year is P4 per share.. Its dividend payments which have been approximately 60% of earnings per share…
