The formula is kd=i/po
We take the market value as the Po right?
For the cost of preference shares, you are correct (although strictly it is D/Po where D is the dividend (preference shares are paid a constant dividend) and Po is the market value)
For the cost of debt, it is I(1-T)/Po (when the debt is irredeemable – T is the tax rate, because debt interest is tax allowable).
If the debt is redeemable then you need to calculate the IRR.
