Answer:

Cost of equity capital:


CE = (Dividend/Current market price of share) + g = (3/20)+8% = 0.15
CE = 23%
Cost of preference share capital:
CP = (Annual preference share dividend/Net proceeds in the
issue of preference share) = 50000/500000 = 0.1
CP = 0.1
Cost of Debentures:
CD = (1/Net Proceeds) (Interest -Tax) = (1/1500000)(210000-105000)
CD = 0.07

Weights of equity share capital, preference share capital and


debentures in total investment of ‘40,00,000’:
Weight of Equity Share Capital
WE = (Total equity share capital / Total Investments) = (20,00,000/40,00,000)
WE = 0.5
Weight of Preference Share Capital
WP = (Total preference share amount / Total Investments) = (5,00,000/40,00,000)
WP = 0.125
Weight of Debentures
WD = (Total Debentures / Total Investments) = (15,00,000/40,00,000)
WD = 0.375

Existing amt after tax cost weights weighted


cost
Equity share capital 2000000 0.23 0.500 0.115
preference share capital 500000 0.1 0.125 0.0125
debentures 1500000 0.07 0.375 0.02625
total=.15375

Weighted average cost of capital = 15.375%
