Answer #1

Answer to Question 1:

Cost of Preferred Stock = Annual Dividend / Current Price
Cost of Preferred Stock = $5.55 / $92.00
Cost of Preferred Stock = 0.0603 or 6.03%

Answer to Question 2:

Face Value = $1,000

Current Price = 103% * $1,000
Current Price = $1,030

Annual Coupon Rate = 4.00%
Semiannual Coupon Rate = 2.00%
Semiannual Coupon = 2.00% * $1,000
Semiannual Coupon = $20

Time to Maturity = 12 years
Semiannual Period = 24

Let Semiannual YTM be i%

$1,030 = $20 * PVIFA(i%, 24) + $1,000 * PVIF(i%, 24)

Using financial calculator:
N = 24
PV = -1030
PMT = 20
FV = 1000

I = 1.844%

Semiannual YTM = 1.844%

Annual YTM = 1.844% * 2
Annual YTM = 3.69%

Pretax Cost of Debt = 3.69%

After-tax Cost of Debt = 3.69% * (1 - 0.21)
After-tax Cost of Debt = 2.92%
