Answer:

a. 6.56%

b. 10.62%

Explanation:

Debt-equity ratio=debt/equity

Hence debt=1.2 equity

Let equity be $x

Debt=$1.2x

Total=$2.2x

WACC=Respective costs*Respective weight

a.

8.7=(x/2.2x*13)+(1.2x/2.2x*Cost of debt)

8.7=5.909+(1.2/2.2*Cost of debt)

Cost of debt=(8.7-5.909)*(2.2/1.2)

=5.1167%(Approx)

Hence pretax cost of debt=Cost of debt/(1-tax rate)

=5.1167/(1-0.22)=6.56%(Approx).

b.

8.7=(x/2.2x*Cost of equity)+(1.2x/2.2x*7.1)

8.7=(1/2.2*Cost of equity)+3.8727

Cost of equity=(8.7-3.8727)*2.2

=10.62%
