Calculating Weighted average | StudyDaddy.com

Bogart Gaming Company (BGC) has the following capital structure, which it considers to be optimal:  25% debt, 15% preferred stock, and 60% common stock.  BGC’s tax rate is 40%, and its investors expect dividends to grow at a constant rate of 6% in the future.  BGC paid a dividend of $3.70 last year (D0) on its common stock, and the stock is currently priced at $60 per share.

 Debt can be sold at an interest rate of 9%.

 New preferred stock could be sold to the public at a price of $100 per share with a dividend of $9, but flotation costs of $5 per share would be incurred.

 Only retained earnings will raise any new common equity.
