Niklaas Limited has a three-component capital structure:

• It has a 10-year 5% bond that pays interest annually (par value of $100). The current yield on a 10-year riskless bond is 4%, and the credit risk of Niklaas is such that investors demand a yield to maturity on Niklaas bonds of 2% over the riskless rate.
• The company also has a perpetual preference share paying an annual dividend of
N$10. For the preference share, investors demand a yield of 3% over the 30-year
riskless rate (considering that preference shares commonly have a perpetual term,
and the 30-year bond rate is commonly the longest maturing bond availableL which
is 6%.
• It also has an ordinary share that will pay a dividend of N$1 per share in the coming
year. Niklaas Limited has a beta of 0.8 and the market premium of 14%. Niklaas’ s
ordinary dividend is expected to grow by 7% in perpetuity.

(2 marks)
