9-2. (Individual or component costs of capital) Compute the cost of the following: a. Abond that has $1,000 par value (face value) and a contract or coupon interest rate of 9 percent. A new issue would have a flotation cost of 5 percent of the $1,100 market value. The bonds mature in 10 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 $1.80 dividend last year. The par value of the stock is $15, and earnings per share have grown at a rate of 7 percent per year. This growth rate is expected to continue into the foreseeable future. The company maintains a constant dividend-earnings ratio of 30 percent. The price of this stock is now $27.50, but 5 percent flotation costs (as a percent of market price) are anticipated. c. Internal common equity when the current market price of the common stock is $43. The expected dividend this coming year should be $3.50, increasing there- after at a 7 percent annual growth rate. The corporation's tax rate is 34 percent.
The Effect Of Prepaid Taxes On Assets And Liabilities
Many businesses estimate tax liability and make payments throughout the year (often quarterly). When a company overestimates its tax liability, this results in the business paying a prepaid tax. Prepaid taxes will be reversed within one year but can result in prepaid assets and liabilities.
Final Accounts
Financial accounting is one of the branches of accounting in which the transactions arising in the business over a particular period are recorded.
Ledger Posting
A ledger is an account that provides information on all the transactions that have taken place during a particular period. It is also known as General Ledger. For example, your bank account statement is a general ledger that gives information about the amount paid/debited or received/ credited from your bank account over some time.
Trial Balance and Final Accounts
In accounting we start with recording transaction with journal entries then we make separate ledger account for each type of transaction. It is very necessary to check and verify that the transaction transferred to ledgers from the journal are accurately recorded or not. Trial balance helps in this. Trial balance helps to check the accuracy of posting the ledger accounts. It helps the accountant to assist in preparing final accounts. It also helps the accountant to check whether all the debits and credits of items are recorded and posted accurately. Like in a balance sheet debit and credit side should be equal, similarly in trial balance debit balance and credit balance should tally.
Adjustment Entries
At the end of every accounting period Adjustment Entries are made in order to adjust the accounts precisely replicate the expenses and revenue of the current period. It is also known as end of period adjustment. It can also be referred as financial reporting that corrects the errors made previously in the accounting period. The basic characteristics of every adjustment entry is that it affects at least one real account and one nominal account.

![9-2. (Individual or component costs of capital) Compute the cost of the following:
a. Abond that has $1,000 par value (face value) and a contract or coupon interest
rate of 9 percent. A new issue would have a flotation cost of 5 percent of the
$1,100 market value. The bonds mature in 10 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 $1.80 dividend last year. The par value
of the stock is $15, and earnings per share have grown at a rate of 7 percent
per year. This growth rate is expected to continue into the foreseeable future.
The company maintains a constant dividend-earnings ratio of 30 percent. The
price of this stock is now $27.50, but 5 percent flotation costs (as a percent of
market price) are anticipated.
c. Internal common equity when the current market price of the common stock is
$43. The expected dividend this coming year should be $3.50, increasing there-
after at a 7 percent annual growth rate. The corporation's tax rate is 34 percent.
d. A preferred stock paying a 9 percent dividend on a $150 par value. If a new
issue is offered, flotation costs will be 12 percent of the current price of $175.
e. Abond selling to yield 12 percent after flotation costs, but before adjusting for
the marginal corporate tax rate of 34 percent. In other words, 12 percent is the
rate that equates the net proceeds from the bond with the present value of the
future cash flows (principal and interest).](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F373be4a5-6161-4069-bfc7-95244a5564a9%2F5d1eaf1a-d5f0-4699-8385-432d6eb5865f%2Faoxpm95_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
