Answer: Interest on debt = $1,000 × 9% = $90
Net proceeds = $1,000 - $20 - ($1,000 × 2%) = $960
Before-tax cost of debt = 9.45% (using financial calculator)
ri = 9.45% × (1-40%) = 5.67%
rp = $8 ÷ ($65 - $3) = 12.9%

(i) The maximum dividend per share the firm can pay is:
$11,600,000/2,000,000 shares = $5.80/share

(b) (i)
Rp=.4(15%)+.6(20%)=18%
σp=[(.4)²(1.0)(.2)²+2(.4)(.6)(.36)(.2)(.4)+(.6)²(1.0)(.4)²]1/2
=(.0778)1/2
