Trahan Lumber Company hired you to help estimate its cost of common equity. You obtained the following data: D1 = $1.25; P0 = $27.50; g = 5.00% (constant); and F = 6.00%. What is the cost of equity raised by selling new common stock?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The cost of equity raised by selling new common stock = 9.84%

Explanation:

Given values, the Trahan Company has D1 = $1.25 , P0 = $27.50, g = 5%, F = 6%

Now, the company wants to calculate the cost of equity that will be arising due to the selling of new common stocks.

Below is the calculation.

Cost of equity = [tex]D1/(Po-F*P0) + g[/tex]

Cost of equity = [tex]1.25/(27.50-6%*27.50) + 5%[/tex]

Cost of equity =[tex]9.84%[/tex]
