How To Determine The Cost of Common Stock (Cont.)
Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM)
According to the dividend discount model, the intrinsic value of a stock is equal to the present value
of all the expected cash flows (dividends) from the stock.
DDM Equation
Example:
Where, Falcons Footwear has 12 million shares of common
stock. The stock is currently selling for $60/share. It
P0 is the price of the share of stock now pays a dividend of $3 this year and the dividend is
D1 is our expected next dividend growing at 4%. What is rs?
rs is the required return on common stock
g is the growth rate of the dividends of common stock.
How To Determine The Cost of Common Stock (Cont.)
Debt plus Risk Premium Model (D+RP)
This approach assumes that the common equity is costlier than the debt, and estimates the cost of
equity as a premium over the cost of debt.
D+RP Equation
rs = rd + Risk Premium
Example:
Current Falcons Footwear bonds are yielding 7%. If we know that comparable companies have
cost of equity about 4% higher than their cost of debt, what is a good estimate of Falcons
Footwear’s cost of equity?
rs = 0.07 + 0.04 = 0.11 = 11%

How To Determine The Cost of Preferred Stock
Formula
Rps = Dps/Pnet
where:
Dps = preferred dividends
Pnet = net issuing price
Example:
Assume Newco's preferred stock pays a dividend of $2 per share and sells for $100 per share.
If the cost to Newco to issue new shares is 4%, what is Newco's cost of preferred stock?
