Weighted Average Cost of Capital; formula is as follows;
WACC = wE*re + wP*wp + wD*rd(1-tax)
where w= weight of...
r = cost of ...
E= common equity
P = preferred stock
D = Debt
Find the weights of each source of capital;
WACC = (0.50*0.17) +(0.20*0.03) + [0.20*0.04(1-0.40)] +[0.10*0.07(1-0.40)]
WACC = 0.085 +0.006 + 0.0048 + 0.0042
WACC = 0.1 or 10%
