Mokoko Ltd. is considering a number projects and thus need to estimate its cost of capital in order to estimate their NPV. The company’s current dividend is $2.25 per share, which has grown steadily at 6% each year for over a decade and is expected to continue doing so. Its stock currently trades at $26 and there are 2 million shares outstanding. The company’s 100,000 preferred shares trade at $22 and pay annual dividends of $3. Cash and marketable securities on the company’s balance sheet total $30.5 million and the firm pays a tax rate of 30%. Their existing long-term debt (face value of $100 million, semi-annual payments) pays a 9.5% coupon and has 12 years remaining before maturity. Due to current conditions, the required rate of return (yield to maturity) on this debt is 11% and any new debt issuance would be required to offer the same yield to investors (there is no term premium for 1 year vs 12 year debt). What is Mokoko Ltd's Debt/Equity ratio? Assuming the firm wants to…

Little Oil has outstanding 1 million shares with a total market value of $29 million. The firm is expected to pay $1.00 million of dividends next year, and thereafter, the amount paid out is expected to grow by 5% a year in perpetuity. Thus, the expected dividend is $1.05 million in year 2, $1.1025 million in year 3, and so on. However, the company has heard that the value of a share depends on the flow of dividends, and therefore, it announces that next year's dividend will be increased to $2 million and that the extra cash will be raised immediately afterward by an issue of shares. After that, the total amount paid out each year will be as previously forecasted, that is, $1.05 million in year 2 and increasing by 5% in each subsequent year. A. At what price will the new shares be issued in year 1? Note: Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places. B. How many shares will the firm need to issue?
