its seems easy, you just need to sort the things, this called marginal cost of capital as i believe
first, 10% of cost of debt, it mentioned they raised debt of 40k, with cost of 12%, so if they need to issue more debt then the cost is 12% (the result is 10% * 12%), its not clear wehter its after or before tax, i will use whatever is available.
second, 40% of cost of new common stock is given also, 17% then ( the result is 40% * 17%)
third, 30% cost of retained earning (existing common stock) also given 13.5% (the result is 30%*13.5%)
forth, 20% of issue new preferred stock, we need to calculate the cost of new preferred stock ( dividends 30 / net proceeds 190) = 15.79% (the result is 20% * 15.79%)
so the magianl cost of capital 1.2%+6.8%+4.05%+3.158% =
15.208%------------------------------

Dear Friends,
I am not sure about the answer, can anybody help me in solving this?
Thanks
Vivid, Inc., has determined that it needs $10,000,000 of funding to expand its operations into a foreign country. Its capital structure consists of 10% long-term debt, 20% preferred stock, 40% common stock, and 30% retained earnings. Vivid issued new debt and collected $40,000 of proceeds. The yearly interest rate is 12%. The cost of retained earnings is expected to be 13.5%, and the cost of new common stock is expected to be 17%. Vivid also can sell $200 par value preferred stock that pays a 15% dividend and has a $10 flotation cost. What is the weighted-average cost of new capital? (Round numbers to three decimal places, e.g., 0.1547 = 15.5%).
