Expert Solution

1) Please see the attachment.

2) Computation of Cost of Preferred Stock:

Cost of Preferred Stock = Dividend/(Price of Preferred Stock - Flotation Cost)

= 9.35/(85-5.10)

= 9.35/79.90

Cost of Preferred Stock = 11.70%

 

Workings:

Flotation Cost = 85*6% = 5.10

 

 

3) Computation of Marginal Cost of Retained Earnings:

Marginal Cost of Retained Earnings = (Dividend for Next Period / Current Price) + Growth Rate

= (2.2*(1+8%)/30) + 8%

= (2.376/30) + 8%

= 7.92% + 8%

Marginal Cost of Retained Earnings = 15.92%
