Debt: 3,000 of 8 % coupon bonds outstanding, $1,000 par value, 20 years
to maturity, selling for $1,030, the bonds make semiannual payments. Preferred stocks: 13,000 shares of 7% dividend payment, par is $100, currently selling for $108 per share with flotation cost of $3 per share.

Solution: 1. Cost of each source of fund:
rd → Find yield to maturity of bonds
Number of period = 20*2 = 40 periods Coupon payment = (8%*1000)/2 = $40 per periods 40 40 40 1000 1,030 = 1 + 2 + ⋯+ 40 + (1 + 𝑌𝑚 ) (1 + 𝑌𝑚 ) (1 + 𝑌𝑚 ) (1 + 𝑌𝑚 )40
𝑌𝑚 = 3.85% / period → 7.70% / year
rps = Dividend per share / Price after Flotation cost
