Answer:

7.51%

Explanation:

The formula to compute WACC is shown below:

= (Weightage of debt) × (after cost of debt) + (Weightage of  common stock) × (cost of common stock)

where,  

Weighted of debt = Debt ÷ total firm

The total firm includes debt, and the equity which equals to

= 2.450 billion × $ 1 + 1.650 billion × $6.25

= 2.450 billion + 10.3125 billion

= 12.7625 billion

So, Weighted of debt = ($2.450 billion ÷ $12.7625 billion) = 0.192

And, the weighted of common stock = (Common stock ÷ total firm)

                                                              = $10.3125 billion ÷ $12.7625 billion

                                                              = 0.808        

Now put these values to the above formula  

So, the value would equal to

= (0.192 × 2.7%) +  (0.808 × 8.65%)

= 0.5184% + 6.9892%

= 7.51%
