Suppose the cost of capital of the Gadget Company is 11 percent. If Gadget has a capital structure that is 57 percent debt and 43 percent equity, its before-tax cost of debt is 6 percent, and its marginal tax rate is 20 percent, then its cost of equity capital is closest to: Entry field with incorrect answer now contains modified data
14.2 percent.
16.2 percent.
12.2 percent.
18.2 percent.
Answer: Option D
Explanation: Given that, Cost of capital = WACC = 11% = 0.11
Tax rate = T = 20% = 0.20
Debt weight = D = 57% = 0.57
Equity weight = E = 43% = 0.43
Before tax cost of Debt = Kd = 6% = 0.06
Let Cost of equity = Ke
We know that, Cost of Capital,
WACC = (Kd x D x (1-T)) + (Ke x E)
0.11 = (0.06 x 0.57 x (1-0.20)) + (Ke x 0.43)
0.11 = 0.02736 + 0.43Ke
Ke = 0.1921
Ke = 19.21% = Cost of Equity
