Answer:

The cost of new common stock is 20.69%

Explanation:

The formula to compute the cost of new common stock is shown below:

= Last dividend × ( 1 + Growth rate) ÷ (Current stock price - Flotation cost) + growth rate

= $3.50 × ( 1 + 0.10) ÷ ($40 - $4) + 10%

= $3.85  ÷ $36 + 10%

= 10.69 + 10%

= 20.69%

This  Last dividend × ( 1 + Growth rate) = Current year dividend

We ignored the marginal tax rate
