Explanation / Answer

1)Before Tax Cost of Debt = 7 %

After Tax Cost of Debt = Before Tax Cost of Debt *(1-tax rate)

After Tax Cost of Debt = 7*(1-30%)

After Tax Cost of Debt = 4.90%

2) cost of new common stock = Expected Dividend / (Current Share Price - Floatation Cost) + Growth rate

cost of new common stock = 50/(33-1.25) + 8%

cost of new common stock = 165.48%

3) Cost of Preferred Stock = 3/(40-1.10)

Cost of Preferred Stock = 7.71%

4) cost of retained earnings = Expected Dividend / (Current Share Price ) + Growth rate

cost of retained earnings = 50/33 + 8%

cost of retained earnings = 159.52%
