True or False: The following statement accurately describes how firms make decisions related to issuing new common stock. Taking flotation costs into account will reduce the cost of new common stock.   True: Taking flotation costs into account will reduce the cost of new common stock, because you will multiply the cost of new common stock by 1 minus the flotation cost—similar to how the after-tax cost of debt is calculated.   False: Flotation costs are additional costs associated with raising new common stock.     Sunny Day Manufacturing Company is considering investing in a one-year project that requires an initial investment of $475,000. To do so, it will have to issue new common stock and will incur a flotation cost of 2.00%. At the end of the year, the project is expected to produce a cash inflow of $550,000. The rate of return that Sunny Day expects to earn on its project (net of its flotation costs) is     (rounded to two decimal places).   White Lion Homebuilders has a current stock price of $33.35 per share, and is expected to pay a per-share dividend of $2.45 at the end of the year. The company’s earnings’ and dividends’ growth rate are expected to grow at the constant rate of 9.40% into the foreseeable future. If White Lion expects to incur flotation costs of 6.50% of the value of its newly-raised equity funds, then the flotation-adjusted (net) cost of its new common stock (rounded to two decimal places) should be    .   Sunny Day Manufacturing Company Co.’s addition to earnings for this year is expected to be $857,000.
