Solution
We are supposed to solve 4 parts when multiple posted
a) stock price= Dividedn in year 1/(cost of equity-growth)
cost of equity=(1.1/19.85)+3.7%
=9.24%
b)stock price=dividend/cost of preferred stock
cost of preferred stock=2.25/28.15=7.99%
c)cost of debt since issued at par so it is 6.7%
d)market value of debt=20.2mn
Market value of preferred stock=1.2*28.15=33.78mn
market value of equity=4.6*19.85=91.31mn
AMrket value of assets=20.2+33.78+91.31=145.29mn
