Market value of common stock = 7,600,000 * 64.1 = 487,160,000

Market value of Preferred stock = 510,000 * 107.9 = 55,029,000

Market value of debt = 176,000 * ( 95.5% of 1000) = 168,080,000

Total market valur of capital structure = 487,160,000 + 55,029,000 + 168,080,000 = $710,269,000

Market value weight of debt = 168,080,000 / 710,269,000 = 0.2366

Market value weight of preferred stock = 55,029,000 / 710,269,000 = 0.0775

Market value weight of equity = 487,160,000 / 710,269,000 = 0.6859

Cost of preferred stock = 7.1%

Cost of equity using CAPM method = risk free rate + beta ( amrket risk premium)

Cost of equity = 0.0555 + 1.21 ( 0.0685)

Cost of equity = 0.138385 or 13.8385%

Price of bond = 95.5% of 1,000 = $955

Coupon payment = 0.083 * 1000 = 83 / 2 = 41.5 ( since it is a semi annual bond, we divide by 2)

Number of periods = 16 * 2 = 32

Before tax cost of debt using a financial calculator = 8.83%

Keys to use in a financial calculator: 2nd I/Y 2, FV = 1000, PV = -955, N = 32, PMT = 41.5, CPT I/Y

After tax cost of debt = 0.0883 ( 1 - 0.3)

After tax cost of debt = 0.06181 or 6.181%

Weighted average cost of capital = Weigth of equity * cost of equity + weight of debt * cost of debt + weight of preferred stock * cost of preferred stock

Weighted average cost of capital = 0.6859 * 0.138385 + 0.2366 * 0.06181 + 0.0775 * 0.071

Weighted average cost of capital = 0.094918 + 0.014624 + 0.005503

Weighted average cost of capital = 0.115045 or 11.50%
