Below is information regarding the capital structure of Micro Advantage Inc. On the basis of this information you are asked to respond to the following three questions:

 

Required:

1. Micro Advantage issued a $5,500,000 par value, 16-year bond a year ago at 95 (i.e., 95% of par value) with a stated rate of 8%. Today, the bond is selling at 105 (i.e., 105% of par value). If the firm’s tax bracket is 30%, what is the current after-tax cost of this debt?

2. Micro Advantage has $5,500,000 preferred stock outstanding that it sold for $22 per share. The preferred stock has a per share par value of $25 and pays a $5 dividend per year. The current market price is $27 per share. The firm’s tax bracket is 31%. What is the after-tax cost of the preferred stock?

3. In addition to the bonds and preferred stock described in requirements 1 and 2, Micro Advantage has 63,000 shares of common stock outstanding that has a par value of $10 per share and a current market price of $180 per share.
