Explanation of Solution
Firstly, the EPS growth rate will be calculated which is as follows:
Now, the total dividend for the year 2017 will be calculated:
Thus, the EPS growth for 2017 is 10.76% and the dividend in 2017 is $9,000,000.

Explanation of Solution
Computation of cost of retained earnings or existing equity and cost of new equity:
Cost of retained earnings = (Dividend for 2017/ Current value of stock) + growth rate
= (0.6922/37.75) +0.1076
= 12.59%
Cost of new equity = (Dividend for 2017/ (Current value of stock- flotation cost)) + growth rate
= (0.6922/37.75-(37.75*15%))+0.1076
= (0.6922/32.0875) +0.1076
=12.92%
Note:
Dividend per share for 2017 is calculated as follows:
Thus, the cost of retained earnings is 12.59% and the cost of new equity will be 12.92%.

Introduction: Dividend for the year 2017 can be calculated by multiplying the Earnings per share 2017 and dividend payout ratio. Earnings per share can be defined as the company’s net income divided by the number of shares outstanding.
C
Explanation of Solution
In the given case, equity proportion is 75%, the retention of net income of $18 million will be 50% as 50% is payout as a dividend. Therefore, the maximum that can be raised above the level of retained earnings can be calculated as follows:
Break-even point associated with retained earnings = Retention/ Equity proportion
= $18*(1-50%)/ 0.75
= $12 million
Thus, beyond the $12 million amount firm may issue new equity.

To compute: WACC with the cost of retained earnings and with the cost of new equity.
Introduction: Dividend for the year 2017 can be calculated by multiplying the Earnings per share 2017 and dividend payout ratio. Earnings per share can be defined as the company’s net income divided by the number of shares outstanding.

Explanation of Solution
Formula for WACC:
WACC = Weights of debt*after tax cost of debt + weights of equity*
Computation of WACC with the cost of retained earnings:
Weighted Average cost of capital = (12.59%*.75) + (3.33%*.25)
= 10.28%
Computation of WACC with the cost of new equity:
Weighted Average cost of capital = (12.92%*.75)+(3.33%*.25)
= 10.52%
Thus, WACC with retained earnings is 10.28% and the cost of new equity is 10.52%

Explanation of Solution
Data for Marginal Weighted Average Cost of Capital:
| Total capital ($) | WACC% |
| 0 | 10.28% |
| 12,000,000 | 10.28% |
| 15,000,000 | 10.52% |
| 20,000,000 | 10.52% |
Thus, the blue line in the graph shows the breakeven point is at $12,000,000 where WACC is 10.28%. If the new cost of equity is issued then WACC increases to 10.52% which is the firm’s marginal WACC.

- In order to calculate a WACC, you first must know the firm's cost of debt and equity. For debt, a firm can issue new bonds with a 4.05% coupon rate and a maturity of 25 years. Interest is paid semi-annually. The market price of the new issue would be $1,146.01 less a 4% of par flotation cost. The face value of the bond, payable at maturity, is $1,000. What is the before-tax cost of debt for this firm (please respond with to the basis point, but without the % sign - meaning if you calculate 3.7569456%, then enter 3.76.)?arrow_forwardJoliet Company is planning to issue $1,000 par value bonds that have a coupon rate of 9.6%. The bonds will be sold at a market price of $1,120. Flotation costs will amount to 4 percent of market value. The bonds would mature in 15 years and coupon payments would be semi-annual.
