Dear Student | |
Thank you for using Chegg | |
Please find below the answer | |
Statementshowing Computations | |
Paticulars | Amount |
before-tax cost of debt | 8.00% |
Tax rate | 20.00% |
After tax cost of debt = 8%(1-.20) | 6.40% |
Weight of debt = .50 | |
Weight of Equity = .50 | |
14% = .50*6.40% + .50*ke | |
14% = 3.2% + .50ke | |
10.8% = .50ke | |
ke = 21.6% | |
