I perceive this method as unsustainable for two main reasons. Initially, from an agricultural standpoint, I believe it's imprudent to cultivate the same crop in a field for four consecutive years; crop rotation is preferable to prevent nutrient depletion from the soil. Secondly, from an economic viewpoint, it might be unwise as the farmer is putting everything at risk by assuming that wheat prices will remain high, whereas having a variety of crops could provide alternatives in case of a fall in wheat prices.

The new common stock cost is 16.3%. The price of a stock is determined as the present value of its anticipated future dividends discounted at the cost of equity. The cost of equity can be established through the capital asset pricing model (CAPM). According to CAPM, the cost of equity is defined as Ke = Rf + β(Rm-Rf), where Rf is 6%, Rm-Rf equals 5%, and β equals 2.00. This leads us to: E(r) = 6% + 2.00 × (5%) = 16%. The current market price is calculated as: Market price = 3.00 × (1.1)/(0.16-0.1) = $55. By factoring in the flotation costs while applying the dividend valuation model, the cost of the new common stock is given by: Cost of new common stock = D0 × (1 + g)/Po × (1-F) + g, where Po is 55, g is 10%, F is 5%, and D0 is 3. The calculation yields: 3 × (1.1)/55 × (1-0.05) + 0.1 = 16.3%.
