Debt-equity ratio=debt/equity
Hence debt=0.8*equity
Let equity be $x
Debt=$0.8x
Total=$1.8x
WACC=Respective costs*Respective weight
a.
8.4=(x/1.8x*12)+(0.8x/1.8x*Cost of debt)
8.4=6.67+(0.8/1.8*Cost of debt)
Cost of debt=(8.4-6.67)*1.8/0.8
=3.9%
Pre-tax Cost of debt=Cost of debt/(1-tax rate)
=3.9/(1-0.35)
=6%
b.
8.4=(0.8x/1.8x*5.1)+(x/1.8x*Cost of equity)
8.4=2.267+(x/1.8x*Cost of equity)
Cost of equity=(8.4-2.267)*1.8
=11.04%
