Your boss is the treasurer of the company, and she expects the firm will grow at 4.00%
annually in the future. She also believes that issuing bonds is less expensive than
the cost of retained earnings. Your firm's debt securities have a yield to maturity of
8.50%, and the firm's marginal tax rate is 30.00%. The current market price of your
firm's common stock is $19.00, and the annual dividend expected next year is $1.50
per share.
Calculate the component costs of both debt and retained earnings to see if your boss is
right.
