Answer:

ke=16.29

Explanation:

WACC=We*ke+Wd*kd(1-t)

Where:

We=weight of common equity in the capital structure

ke=cost of equity

Wd=Weight of debt in the capital structure

kd= Cost of debt i.e yield to maturity on the bonds

t= tax rate.

Since WACC is estimated to be 12.9%

0.129=0.65*ke+0.35*0.11(1-0.4)

ke=\frac{0.129-[0.35*0.11(1-0.4)]}{0.65}=0.162923
