define target (optimal) capital structure, calculate a company抯 weighted-average cost of capital, calculate a company抯 marginal cost of capital and distinguish between the weighted-average cost of capital and marginal cost of capital
Given the company抯 dividend payout ratio, the amount of the expected addition to retained earnings is $66 million; the amount of new capital that could be raised without issuing new common stock is $165 million. Because $150 million is less than the break point for retained earnings, the component cost of equity is the cost of retained earnings. The marginal cost of capital for the company is 9.6 percent:
(0.5 x 6%) + (0.1 x 10%) + (0.4 x 14%).
