BBQ Corporation has a target capital structure that is 70 percent equity, 30 percent debt. The flotation costs for equity issues are 15 percent of the amount raised; the flotation costs for debt are 8 percent. If BBQ needs $150 million for a new manufacturing facility, what is the cost when flotation costs are considered? a) $130.65 million
b) $150 million
c) $165.42 million
d) $172.22 million
e) $185 million

d) $172.22 million

Explanation:

given data

equity = 70 %

debt = 30 %

flotation costs equity = 15 %

flotation costs debt = 8 %

BBQ = $150 million

solution

first we get here weighted average flotation cost that is express as

weighted average flotation cost = ( Flotation cost debt × Weight debt ) + ( Flotation cost equity × Weight equity )         .................1

put here value and we get

weighted average flotation cost = (8% × 0.30) + (15% × 0.70)

weighted average flotation cost = 0.024 + 0.105

weighted average flotation cost = 0.129  = 12.9%

and

now we get here cost of funds  that is express as

Cost of funds = Amount raised  ÷ (1 - Weighted average floatation cost)    .............2

put here value we get

Cost of funds  =

Cost of funds  =

Cost of funds  = $172,215,844

so correct answer is d) $172.22 million

typically a loft will include modern kitchen and bathrooms, this increases the price tag. lofts also have a good amount of open space, this requires more heating and electricity. lofts are also in older buildings, this means that maintaining the location increases the bill. keep in mind this is without talking about the high state and property taxes.

i hope this you! : )
