Answer:

C) 11.12 percent

Explanation:

<u>We are asked to calculate the WACC with preferred stock</u>

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

Ke = cost of capital =       0.16

Equity weight 0.50

Kp = cost of preferred=         0.12

Preferred Weight 0.10

Kd = cost of debt = 0.08

Debt Weight 0.40

t = tax rate 0.40

WACC = 0.16(0.5) + 0.12(0.1) + 0.08(1-0.4)(0.4)

WACC 11.12000%
