Oyceee Electronics wants you to calculate its cost of common stock. During the next 12 months, the company expects to pay dividends (D1) of $3.50 per share, and the current price of its common stock is $72 per share. The expected growth rate is 5 percent. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round the final answers to 2 decimal places.)
a. Compute the cost of retained earnings (Ke).
Cost of retained earnings _____ %
b. If a $3.0 flotation cost is involved, compute the cost of new common stock (Kn).
Cost of new common stock ______%
Computation of Cost of Retained Earnings:
Cost of Retained Earnings=(D1/Current price)+Growth rate
=(3.5/72)+0.05
=9.86%
Computation of Cost of New Common Stock:
Cost of New Stock=(D1/Current price-Flotation cost)+Growth rate
=(3.5/(72-3))+0.05
=(3.5/69)+0.05
=10.07%
