Answer #1

WACC is weighted Avg cost of sources in capital structure

COst of Debt shall be considered after Tax

After Cost of Debt = rd * (1-Tax rate )

= 6% * ( 1 - 0.25)

= 6% * 0.75

= 4.5%

WACC:

Source Weight Cost Wtd Cost
Debt          0.30 4.50% 1.35%
Prefered Stock          0.05 7.90% 0.40%
Common Stock          0.65 12.00% 7.80%
WACC 9.55%
