debt the firm can sell for $980 a 10-year, $1,000-par-value bond paying annual interest at a 10% coupon rate. a flotation cost of 3% of the par value is required in addition to the discount of $20 per bond.

preferred stock eight percent (annual dividend) preferred stock having a par value of $100 can be sold for $65. an additional fee of $2 per share must be paid to the underwriters.

common stock the firm's common stock is currently selling for $50 per share. the dividend expected to be paid at the end of the coming year (2013) is $4. its dividend payments, which have been approximately 60% of earnings per share in each of the past 5 years, were as shown in the following table.

year dividend
2012 $3.75
2011 3.50
2010 3.30
2009 3.15
2008 2.85
