Homework Answers
Answer is 16.75%
WACC = Weight of debt * Cost of debt + Weight of equity * Cost of equity
Weight of Debt = 7500/(30000 + 7500) = 20%
Weight of Equity = 30000/(30000 + 7500) = 80%
15% = 20% * 8% + 80% * Cost of Equity
15% = 1.6% + 80% * Cost of Equity
13.4% = 80% * Cost of Equity
Cost of Equity = 13.4%/80% = 16.75%
