Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
Debt = 0.65
Weight = 39.39%
Cost for debt = 2%
Product = 39.39% × 2%
= 0.3939 × 0.02
= 0.007878
Equity = 1.00
Weight = 60.61%
Cost for equity = 6%
Product = 60.61% × 6%
= 0.6061 × 0.06
= 0.036366
Weighted average floatation cost:
= 0.007878 + 0.036366
= 0.044244
= 4.42%
The true cost of the building will then be:
= Funds needed / (1 - Floatation cost)
= $43,000,000 / (1 - 0.044244)
= $43,000,000 / 0.955756
= $44,990,562
