On Cost of Debt and Equity
12y ago#1I do not know where you found this question, but for various reasons it could not possibly be asked in Paper F9!!
For the cost of equity you use the growth model formula. We know the current dividend, the market value, and the growth rate,
For the cost of preference shares - the have fixed dividend and so it is the growth model formula again, but with g = 0.
For debt - 'debt can be sold at 15%' does not mean anything at all :-)
The WACC is as usual, weighted the individual costs by the total market value of each.
