Question - As a consultant to GBH Skiwear, you have been asked to compute the appropriate discount rate to use in the evaluation of the purchase of a new warehouse facility.

Source of Capital	Market Values
Bonds	$500,000
Preferred stock	$100,000
Common stock	$400,000

To finance the purchase, GBH will sell 20-year bonds with a $1,000 par value paying 8 percent per year (paid semiannually) at the market price of $950. Preferred stock paying a $2.5 dividend can be sold for $27. Common stock for GBH is currently selling for $35 per share. The firm paid a $2 dividend last year and expects dividends to continue growing at a rate of 4 percent per year into the indefinite future. The firm's marginal tax rate is 34 percent.
