(you are not calculating the entire WACC) As a consultant to GBH Skiwear, you have been asked to compute the appropriate discount rate to use to evaluate the purchase of a new warehouse facility. You have determined the Book values of the firm’s capital structure as follows: SOURCE OF CAPITAL BOOK VALUE Bank Loan Bonds 100,000 $500,000 Preferred stock $200,000 Common stock Retained Earnings $100,000 $400,000 To finance the purchase, GBH will borrow $100,000 from The Island Bank, sell 20-year bonds, paying 8 percent per year, at the market price of $1050.

Write A thrоugh F verticаlly in the аnswer sectiоn аnd prоvide your solutions to these problems. (Show work for partial credit if necessary). Compute the AFTER TAX cost of the following: (Remember to ask yourself if each of these items is tax deductable) A. A bond selling to yield 8 percent after flotation costs, but prior to adjusting for the marginal corporate tax rate of 24 percent. In other words, 8 percent is the rate that equates the net proceeds from the bond with the present value of the future flows (principal and interest). B. A new common stock issue that paid a $1.50 dividend last year. The par value of the stock is $2, and the earnings per share have grown at a rate of 6.6 percent per year. This growth rate is expected to continue into the foreseeable future. The price of this stock is now $30, but 9 percent flotation costs are anticipated. The marginal tax rate is 24%. C. A bond that has a $1,000 par value (face value) and a contract or coupon interest rate of 9 percent. A new issue would net the company 90 percent of the $1,125 market value. The bonds mature in 20 years, the firm’s tax rate is 24 percent. D. A preferred stock paying a 8 percent dividend on a $150 par value. If a new issue is offered, the company can expect to net $95 per share. The marginal tax rate is 24%. E. Internal common equity where the current market price of the common stock is $38. The expected dividend this coming year should be $4, increasing thereafter at a 5.5 percent annual growth rate. This corporation’s tax rate is 24 percent. F. A bank loan of $100,000 will be obtained for a 1 year term with the expectation that it will be renewed for the life of the project. The interest rate is currently 7.5 percent, though it will reflect the current rate at each renewal. The marginal tax rate is 24%.
