Calculate the WACC? Do not round your intermediate calculations.
WACC = Cost of debt * weight of debt +Cost of equity * weight of equity+Cost of Pref.equity * weight of Pref.equity
Total value of Capital (V) = Market value of ( debt+pref equity+ Equity)
V=200000 *1135+ 1000000*98+ 20000000*21 = 745,000,000
weight of debt = 200000 *1135/745,000,000 = 0.305
weight of pref equity=1000000*98/745,000,000 =0.131
weight of equity=20000000*21/745,000,000= 0.564
Cost of debt = 9.5%*(1-30%)= 6.65%
Cost of pref equity= 7%
Cost of equity
Re= 14.54%
Minimum equity cost in CAPM model i.e. 14.33%
WACC = 6.65%*0.305+7%*0.131+14.33%*0.564 = 11.03%
