As a Financial Analyst of Falcon Alphine Ski Co. (FAS), you are in charge of estimating the company’s weighted average cost of capital. FAS’s target capital structure is 20% debt, 20% preferred stock, and 60 % common stock. Its current before-tax cost of debt is 12%, and flotation cost for debt can be ignored. Its preferred stock has an after-tax cost of 12.6%. FAS has just paid a dividend (Do) of $2.00 and expects to have a constant dividend growth rate of 8%. Its common stock currently sells for $30 per share. Flotation cost on new common stock would total 10%. FAS’s beta is 1.6. The long-term Treasury-bond rate is currently 7%, and the average return on the market portfolio is 12%. Its tax rate is 40%.
