Answer #1

Cost of equity = 16.20%

After tax Cost of debt = 5.80%

Debt Equity ratio = 0.42

Weight of debt = 0.42/ (1 + 0.42)

= 29.58%

Weight of equity = 70.42%

Now, WACC is calculated below:

WACC = (70.42% × 16.20%) + (29.58% × 5.80%)

= 11.41% + 1.72%

= 13.12%

firms weighted average cost of capital is 13.12%.
