The common stock sells for 55.00. last years dividend (D0) was 2.10, and a flotation cost of 10% would be required to sell new common stock. Security analysts are projecting that the common dividend will grow at an annual rate of 9%. Skyes preferred stock pays a dividend of 3.30 per share, and its preferred stock sells for 30.00 per share. The firms before-lax cost of debt is 10%, and its marginal tax rate is 25%. The firms currently outstanding 10% annual coupon rate, long-term debt sells at par value. The market risk premium is 5%, the risk-free rate is 6%, and Skyes beta is 1.516.
