Assume the firm has insufficient retained earnings to fund the equity portion of its capital budget. It has 20-year, 12% semiannual coupon bonds that sell at their par value of $1,000. The firm could sell, at par, $100 preferred stock that pays a 12% annual dividend, but flotation costs of 5% would be incurred.
