<em><u>First we solve for the source of financing:</u></em>
Expansion: 5,900,000
60% Equity: 3,540,000
Retained Earnins 2,000,000
then 1,540,000 will be common equity
40% debt: 2,360,000 It can raise up to 3,000,000 so it will be sufficient
D 2,360
E 1,540
RE 2000
V 5,900
Now we can solve for Weighted average cost of capital
Ke 0.15
Equity weight 0.261016949 (1,540,000 / 5,900,000)
Kre 0.12
RE Weight 0,338983 (2,000,000 / 5,900,000)
Kd 0.1
Debt Weight 0.4 ( 2,360,000 / 5,900,000)
t 0.4
