Answer:

WACC 10.42614%

Explanation:

<u>First we use CAPM to solve for the cost of equity</u>

Ke= r_f + \beta (r_m-r_f)  

risk free 0.04

market rate  

premium market (market rate - risk free) 0.08

beta(non diversifiable risk) 1.1

 

Ke= 0.04 + 1.1 (0.08)  

Ke 0.12800

Then we calculate the WACC (weighted average cost of capital)

WACC = K_e(\frac{E}{E+D}) + K_d(1-t)(\frac{D}{E+D})

D 80,000 bonsd x 1,000 = 80,000,000

E 4,000,000 shares x 40 = 160,000,000

E+ D 80,000,000 + 160,000,000 = 240,000,000

equity weight: 2/3

liability weight: 1/3

Ke 0.128

Equity weight 0.6667

Kd 0.086

Debt Weight 0.3334

t 0.34

WACC = 0.128(0.6667) + 0.086(1-0.34)(0.3334)

WACC 10.42614%
