Answer:

Kd = 7%

Ke =      D1      +  g

        Po(1 - FC)

Ke =      $2            + 0.09

        $40(1 - 0.15)

Ke =       $2      +  0.09

              $34

Ke = 0.1488 = 14.88%

WACC = Ke(E/V) + Kd(D/V)(1-T)

WACC = 14.88(60/100) + 7(40/100)(1 - 0.40)

WACC = 8.928 + 1.68

WACC = 10.6%

Explanation:

In this case before-tax cost of debt is given. Cost of equity is expected dividend divided by current market price after flotation cost plus growth rate. WACC is calculated as cost of equity multiplied by the proportion of equity in the capital structure plus after-tax cost of debt multiplied by proportion of debt in the capital structure.

<h3>  particulars                                                                   amount</h3>

Beginning accounts receivable                                                     14000

+ Credit sales made during the year                                             172000
