Explanation & Answer

Thank you for the opportunity to help you with your question!

SOLUTION

Current price of each preferred stock = $27.50


Net price after issuance costs = $25.60


Hence floatation costs = 27.50 – 25.60 = $1.90


Dividends per share = $3.00


 


To calculate the cost of existing preferred stock:


 


Cost of existing preferred stock =  X 100 


    =  X 100 = 0.10909 X 100 = 10.909%


To calculate the cost of new preferred stock:


 


Cost of new preferred stock =  X 100


             =  X 100 =  X 100 = 0.1172 X 100 = 11.72%
