Use the following information about SV Inc. to calculate the company’s Cost of Capital. The stock of SV Inc. sells for $50, and last year’s dividend was $2.10. A flotation cost of 10% would be required to issue new common stock. SVs’ preferred stock pays a dividend of $3.30 per share, and new preferred could be sold at a price to net the company $30 per share. Security analysts are projecting that the common dividend will grow at a rate of 7% a year. The firm can issue additional long-term debt at an interest rate (or a before-tax cost) of 10%, and its marginal tax rate is 35%. The market risk premium is 6%, the risk-free rate is 6.5%, and Supreme Ventures’ beta is 0.83.
