The Crane Products Co. currently has debt with a market value of $275 million outstanding. The
debt consists of 9 percent coupon bonds (semiannual coupon payments) which have a maturity of 15
years and are currently priced at $1,418.61 per bond. The firm also has an issue of 2 million
preferred shares outstanding with a market price of $11 per share. The preferred shares pay an
annual dividend of $1.20. Crane also has 14 million shares of common stock outstanding with a price
of $20.00 per share. The firm is expected to pay a $2.20 common dividend one year from today, and
that dividend is expected to increase by 5 percent per year forever. If Crane is subject to a 40
percent marginal tax rate, then what is the firm's weighted average cost of capital?
