The common stock sells for $45.00, last year's dividend (D0) was $1.90, and a flotation cost of 8% would be required to sell new common stock. Security analysts are projecting that the common dividend will grow at an annual rate of 9%. Skye's preferred stock pays a dividend of $3.00 per share, and its preferred stock sells for $25.00 per share. The firm's before-tax cost of debt is 8%, and its marginal tax rate is 25%. The firm's currently outstanding 8% annual coupon rate, long-term debt sells at par value. The market risk premium is 6%, the risk-free rate is 7%, and Skye's beta is 1.544.

Calculate the cost of each capital component, that is, the after-tax cost of debt, the cost of preferred stock, the cost of equity from retained earnings, and the cost of newly issued common stock. Use the DCF method to find the cost of common equity.

After-tax cost of debt: fill in the blank 2 %

Cost of preferred stock: fill in the blank 3 %

Cost of retained earnings: fill in the blank 4 %

Cost of new common stock: fill in the blank 5 %

Now calculate the cost of common equity from retained earnings, using the CAPM method.
If Skye continues to use the same market-value capital structure, what is the firm's WACC assuming that (1) it uses only retained earnings for equity and (2) if it expands so rapidly that it must issue new common stock? (Hint: Use the market value capital structure excluding current liabilities to determine the weights. Also, use the simple average of the required values obtained under the two methods in calculating WACC.)
