Expert Solution

Compute the after-tax cost of debt, using the equation as shown below:

After-tax cost of debt = Cost of debt before tax*(1 – Tax rate)

                                   = 7%*(1 – 0.20)

                                   = 5.60%

Hence, the after-tax cost of debt is 5.60%.

Compute the preference capital, using the equation as shown below:

Preference capital = Shares outstanding*Share price

                              = 10 million*$42

                              = $420 million

Hence, the preference capital is $420 million.

Compute the common stock capital, using the equation as shown below:

Common stock = Shares outstanding*Share price

                         = 30 million*$109

                         = $3,270 million

Hence, the common stock capital is $3,270 million.
