Answer:
option b) -0.35%
Explanation:
For tax rate = 40%
After after-tax cost of debt = cost of debt × ( 1 - Rate )
= 7% × ( 1 - 0.40 )
= 4.20%
For tax rate = 45%
After after-tax cost of debt = cost of debt × ( 1 - Rate )
= 7% × ( 1 - 0.45 )
= 3.85%
Therefore, the change in cost of debt = 3.85% - 4.20% = -0.35%
Hence,
Correct answer is option b) -0.35%
Answer:
WACC= 17.95%
Explanation:
Weighted average cost of capital is the average cost of all of the long-term types of finance used by a company weighted according to the that amount of finance used in relation to the total pool of fund.
It is calculated using the formula below:
WACC = (We×Ke) + (Wd×Kd)
Ke-cost of equity- 22%
We- equity weight- 100% - 45% = 55%
Kd-After tax cost of debt-10.3%
Wd- 45%
After tax cost of debt = Before tax ×× (1- tax rate)
After tax cost of debt = 13%× (1-0.21) = 10.3%
Cost of equity = 22%
WACC =(0.55× 22%) + (0.45× 13%)=17.95%
WACC= 17.95%
