The McGee Corporation finds it is necessary to determine its marginal cost of capital. McGee’s current capital structure calls for 50 percent debt, 20 percent preferred stock, and 30 percent common equity. Initially, common equity will be in the form of retained earnings (Ke) and then new common stock (Kn). The costs of the various sources of financing are as follows: debt (after-tax), 6.0 percent; preferred stock, 8.0 percent; retained earnings, 9.0 percent; and new common stock, 10.2 percent.
