dividend (Do)was $2.10, and a flotation cost of 10% would be required to sell new common stock.
Security analysts are projecting that the common dividend will grow at an annual rate of 9%. Sunrise's
preferred stock pays a dividend of $3.30 per share, and its preferred stock sells for $30.00 per share.
The firm's before-tax cost of debt is 10%, and its marginal tax rate is 25%. The firm's currently
outstanding 10% annual coupon rate, long-term debt sells at par value. The market risk premium is 5%,
the risk-free rate is 6%, and Sunrise's beta is 1.516. The firm's total debt, which is the sum of the
company's short-term debt and long-term debt, equals $1.2 million.
