manager to measure the cost of each specific type of capital as well as the weighted
average cost of capital. The weighted average cost is to be measured by using the fol-lowing weights: 40% long-term debt, 10% preferred stock, and 50% common stock

value of $100 can be sold for $65. An additional fee of $2 per share must be
paid to the underwriters.
