Question

Colbyco Industries Company has a target capital structure of 60 percent common
equity, 30 percent debt, and 10 percent preferred stock. The cost of retained earnings is
15 percent, and the cost of new equity (external) is 16 percent. Colbyco anticipates
having Sh.20 million of new retained earnings available over the coming year. Colbyco
can sell Sh.15 million of first-mortgage bonds with an after-tax cost of 9 percent. Its
investment bankers feel the company could sell Sh.10 million of debentures with a 9.5
percent after-tax cost. Additional debt would cost 10 percent after tax and be in the form
of subordinated debentures. The after-tax cost of preferred stock financing is estimated to
be 14 percent.
Required:
Compute the marginal cost of capital schedule for Colbyco, and determine the break
points in the schedule.
