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%
