Suppose the current capital structure consist of following figures.
Equity - 0.6 at Cost of equity (14%)
Long term Debt - 0.3 at concessionary rate of 8% (Pre tax)
Long term Debt - 0.1 at normal rate of 11% (Pre tax)
Tax rate is 28%
How to calculate WACC? (Do we have to take average rate of Debt, or consider debt items separately)
Hello SIr/ Mam
We have to take both items seperately.
Given that:
Equity : 0.6 Ke = 14%
LT Debt : 0.3 Kd = 8%(1-0.28) = 5.76%
LT Debt : 0.1 Kd = 11%*(1-0.28) = 7.92%
Hence,
I hope this solves your doubt.
Feel free to comment if you still have any query or need something else. I'll help asap.
Do give a thumbs up if you find this helpful.

Suppose that JB Cos. has a capital structure of 80 percent equity, 20 percent debt, and that its before-tax cost of debt is 14 percemt while its cost of equity is 18 percent. Assume the appropriate weighted-average tax rate is 21 percent and JB estimates that they can make full use of the interest tax shield. What will be JB's WACC?

Problem 15-11 WACC and Optimal Capital Structure F. Pierce Products Inc. is considering changing its capital structure. F. Pierce currently has no debt and no preferred stock, but would like to add some debt to take advantage of low interest rates and the tax shield. Its investment banker has indicated that the pre-tax cost of debt under various possible capital structures would be as follows: Market Debt- to-Value Ratio (wd) Market Equity-to-Value Ratio (ws) Market Debt- to-Equity Ratio (D/S) Before-Tax...
