Answer:

Cost of equity = 14.43%

Explanation:

Weigheted Average cost of capital is computed using the formula below:

WACC = (Wd×Kd)  + (We×Ke)

           Kd= aftre tax cost of debt= 12%× (1-0.4)= 7.2%

           Wd =Proportion of debt= 40%

           We = proportion of equity = 60%

            Ke= cost of equity.

let the cost of equity be "y"

WACC = 11.54

11.54 = (40%× 7.2%) + (60% × y)

0.1154  = 0.0288 + 0.6y

0.1154 - 0.0288 = 0.6y

y =(0.1154 - 0.0288)/0.6

y = 0.1443 × 100

y =14.43%

Cost of equity = 14.43%
