Cookie Dough Manufacturing has a target debt-equity ratio of .6. Its cost of equity is 16 percent, and its pretax cost of debt i
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

Option (a) 12.23%

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Debt-equity ratio = 0.6

or

Debt = 0.6 × Equity

Cost of equity, ke = 16% = 0.16

Pretax cost of debt, kd = 9% = 0.09

Tax rate = 34% = 0.34

Now,

Firm's WACC = [ weight of equity × ke] + [ Weight of debt × kd × (1-Tax rate) ]

also,

weight of equity = Equity ÷ ( Debt + equity )

= Equity ÷ ( 0.6 × Equity + equity )

= 1 ÷ 1.6

= 0.625

weight of Debt = Debt ÷ ( Debt + equity )

= 0.6 × Equity ÷ ( 0.6 × Equity + equity )

= 0.6 ÷ 1.6

= 0.375

Thus,

Firm's WACC = [ 0.625 × 0.16 ] + [ 0.375 × 0.09 × (1- 0.34) ]

= 0.1 + 0.022275

= 0.122275

or

= 0.122275 × 100%

= 12.2275% ≈ 12.23%
