Which of the following statements is correct?

The component cost of preferred stock is expressed as rp(1 – T). This follows because preferred stock dividends are treated as fixed charges, and as such they can be deducted by the issuer for tax purposes.


A cost should be assigned to retained earnings due to the opportunity cost principle, which refers to the fact that the firm’s shareholders could themselves earn a return on earnings by reinvesting the money in other investments if they were paid out rather than retained and reinvested.


Suppose a firm has been losing money and thus is not paying taxes, and this situation is expected to persist into the foreseeable future. In this case, the firm’s before-tax and after-tax costs of debt will both be equal to the interest rate on the firm’s currently outstanding debt, provided that debt was issued during the past 10 years.


If a firm has enough retained earnings to fund its capital budget for the coming year, then there is no need to estimate either a cost of equity or a WACC.
