Answer:
Project's WACC = 12.95%
Explanation:
The WACC or weighted average cost of capital is the cost of a firm's capital structure. The capital structure of a firm may contain one or all of the following components - debt, preferred stock, common stock. For a firm with two components in capital structure in form of debt and equity, the WACC is calculated as follows,
WACC = wD * rD * (1+tax rate) + wE* rE
Where,
- wD and wE are the weights of debt and equity in the total capital structure
- rD and rE are the cost of each component
- We multiply the cost of debt by 1 - tax rate to calculate the after tax cost of debt
We must first determine the weight of debt and equity in total capital structure.
A debt to equity ratio of 0.64 means 0.64 debt for every 1 dollar of equity. The total assets are made up of debt + equity. So, total assets are 0.64 + 1 = 1.64
Weight of debt = 0.64 / 1.64 = 16/41
Weight of equity = 1 / 1.64 = 25/41
WACC = 16/41 * 0.053 + 25/41 * 0.149
WACC = 0.1115 or 11.15%
The projects cost of capital is 1.8% more than the company's WACC.
So, the project's cost of capital is,
Project's WACC = 11.15% + 1.8%
Project's WACC = 12.95%
