Assume that you were recently hired as assistant to Jerry Lehman, financial VP of Coleman Technologies. Your first task is to estimate Coleman’s cost of capital. Lehman has provided you with the following data, which he believes is relevant to your task: The firm’s marginal tax rate is 40%. The current price of Coleman’s 12 % coupon, semiannual payment, noncallable bonds with 15 years remaining to maturity is $1,153.72.

Coleman’s common stock is currently selling at $50 per share. Its last dividend (D0) was $4.19, and dividends are expected to grow at a constant rate of 5% in the foreseeable future. Coleman’s beta is 1.2, the yield on Treasury bonds is 7%, and the market risk…
