DEBT: The firm can sell a 12-year, $1,000 par value, 7 percent bond for $960. A flotation cost of 2 percent of the face value would be required in addition to the discount of $40.

$10 annual dividend. The cost of issuing and selling the stock is $3 per share.
COMMON STOCK: A firm's common stock is currently selling for $18 per share. The dividend expected to be paid at the
end of the coming year is $1.74. Its dividend payments have been growing at a constant rate for the last five years. Five years ago, the dividend was $1.50. It is expected that to sell, a new common stock issue must be underpriced $1 per share in
floatation costs. Additionally, the firm's marginal tax rate is 40 percent.
