The after-tax cost of debt of Company XYZ Ltd is 4.5%. The systematic risk of its equity is twice the market. The risk-free interest rate is 5% per annum. Rate of return on market portfolio is 7% (assume franking premium = 0). 35% of the firm’s funding comes from debt and the rest comes from equity. Compute the cost of capital of this company.

(Individual or component costs of capital) Compute the cost of capital for the firm for the following: a. A bond that has a $1,000 par value (face value) and a contract or coupon interest rate of 10.5 percent. Interest payments are $52.50 and are paid semiannually. The bonds have a current market value of $1,121 and will mature in 10 years. The firm's marginal tax rate is 34 percet. b. A new common stock issue that paid a $1.84 dividend last year. The firm's dividends are expected to continue to grow at 6.4 percent per year, forever. The price of the firm's common stock is now $27.92. c. A preferred stock that sells for $134, pays a dividend of 9.1 percent, and has a $100 par value. d. A bond selling to yield 11.7 percent where the firm's tax rate is 34 percent. a. The after-tax cost of debt is %. (Round to two decimal places.)
