Answer:
A. 8.15
Explanation:
WACC is the firm's weighted average cost for the capital that is employed from different sources which includes common equity, preferred equity and debt.
In order to calculate WACC, the weighted average cost of each capital is added, so the formula becomes:
WACC = (E x %E) + (D x (1 - Tax) x %D) + (PE x %PE)
E = Common equity
D = Debt
PE = Preferred equity
%E = Common equity / total capital
%D = Debt / total capital
%PE = Preferred equity / total capital
Tax = Tax rate
<em>Interest on debt is a tax deductible expense therefore the interest rate is taken after accounting for tax in order to calculate WACC.</em>
<u>Calculation:</u>
Using the above formula we can calculate WACC
WACC = (11.25% x 55%) + (6.5% x (1-40%) x 35%) + (6% x 10%)
WACC = 0.0815 or 8.15%
