The following information is associated with a proposed new project. The initial cost of the project is estimated to be $100,000 and the project's cash flows over its six-year contract are estimated to be $26,000 annually. The firm's current cost of capital for common stock equity is 12%. However, another firm, whose principal focus is in the same field, is publicly traded and has a beta of 1.5. The market is currently yielding 12% and the yield on short-term treasury bills is 6%. Use CAPM to determine the cost of capital for new stock issue (assume it includes flotation costs).
