Sharp Meats has determined its optimal capital structure, which is composed of the following sources and target market value proportions:

Long term debt 30%

Preference share capital 5%

Ordinary share equity capital 65%

Sharp Meats can sell a 20 year, $1 000 par value, 9 per cent coupon rate bond for $980. A flotation cost of 2 per cent of the face value would be required in addition to the discount of $20. The firm has determined it can issue preference shares at $65 per share. The shares will pay a dividend per share of $8. The cost of issuing and selling the preference shares is $3 per share. The firm's ordinary shares are currently selling for $40 per share. The firm expects to pay a dividend at the end of the coming year of $5.07 per share. Its dividend payments have been growing at a constant rate for the last five years. Five years ago, the dividend was $3.45 per share. It is expected that to sell, a new ordinary share issue must be underpriced $1 per share and the firm must pay $1 per share in flotation costs. The firm's marginal tax rate is 40 per cent.
