Kuhn Co is considering a new project that will require an initial investment of 45 million dollars. it has a target capital structure of 58% debt, 6% preferred stock, and 36% common equity. Kuhn has noncallable bonds outstanding that mature in five years with a face value of $1,000, an annual coupon rate of 10% and a market price of $1,050.76. The yield on the company's current bonds is a good approximation of the yield on any new bonds that it issues. the company can sell shares of preferred stock that pay an annual dividend of $9 at a price of $92.55 per share. You can assume that Jordan does not incur any flotation costs when issuing debt and preferred stocks.
Kuhn does not have any retained earnings available to finance this project, so the firm will have to issue new common stock to help fund it. Its common stock is currently selling for $33.55 per share, and it is expected to pay a dividend of $2.78 at the end of next year. Flotation costs will represent 3% of the funds raised by issuing new common stock. The company is expected to grow at a constant rate of 9.2% and they face a tax rate of 40%.
