Explanation:

Re:  11,35%  Cost of Common Equity  

Re:  8,57%  Cost of Preferred STOCK  

Re:  4,18%  Cost of Debt BONDS  

Rd:  3,59%  Cost of Zero BONDS  

$179,200,000   Market Value of the firm's Common Equity  

$14,700,000   Market Value of the firm's Preferred STOCK  

$132,000,000   Market Value of the firm's Debt BONDS  

$49,300,000   Market Value of the firm's ZERO BONDS  

V:   $375,200,000   E+D = Total Market Value of the firm's financing  

E/V:  48%  Percentage of financing that is Common Equity  

PS/V:  4%  Percentage of financing that is Preferred Stock  

DB/V:  35%  Percentage of financing that is Debt Bonds  

ZB/V:  13%  Percentage of financing that is Zero Bonds  

Tc:    40% Corporate tax rate  

Market value of debt  Bonds:  

120,000 x $1,000 x 110% = $132,000,000

Market value of debt Zero Coupon:  

290,000 x $1,000 x 17% =  $49,300,000

Market value of preferred stock:  

210,000 x $70 = $14,700,000

Market value of common stock:  

3,200,000 x $56 =  $179,200,000

TOTAL = $375,200,000

R =   0,04 + 1,05(0,07) =  11,35%  

P0= $1,110 = $40(PVIFAR%,40) + $1,000(PVIFR%,40) =      

R =   6,97%    

R_Bonds :  (1 - 0,4) x (0,0697) =  4,18%  

Yield To Maturity = (Face Value/Current Bond Price)^(1/Years To Maturity)−1 =  5,98%

(Face Value/Current Bond Price) = '$1,000/$175           (1/Years To Maturity) = 1/30          

R_ZeroB : (1 - 0,4) x (0,0598) = 3,59%      

Rp= D1/P0 =  $6/$70 = 8,57%  

Rp = Required Return   D1 = Dividend   P0 = Price
