The flotation cast adjustment is derived by dividing the dividend yield by 1-F(where F=flotation casts expressed in percentage terms),or by 0.9632,and adding that result to the constant growth rate
to determine the cost of equity.Using the formulas shown previously in my testimony,the Constant Growth DCF calculation is modified as follows to accommodate an adjustment for flotation costs:
