Using Modigliani-Miller theorem (without tax effect)
Levered cost of equity = unleveled cost + debt equity ratio (unlevered cost of equity - cost of debt)
Unlevered cost of equity = earnings / value of equity =986,000/ 11,500,000= 8.57%
No tax, so no effect on value of levered firm.
Debt equity ratio of levered firm = debt issue / (value of equity - debt issue)
Debt equity ratio of levered firm = 4,880,000 /(11,500,000-4,880,000)= 0.737
Cost of debt = 6.2%
Levered cost of equity= 8.57% + 0.737 (8.57%- 6.2%)
Levered cost of equity= 8.57% + 1.74669%=10.32%
