Given:

Weighted average cost of capital (WACC) = 9%

Debt in capital structure = 40%

Interest on debt = 4%

Corporate tax rate = 34%

Find:

Cost of Equity:

Computation:

WACC = [Debt in capital structure × Interest on Debt (1-Corporate tax rate)] + [Cost of Equity × (1 - Debt in capital structure)]

9% = [ 40% × 4% (1-34%) ] + [Cost of Equity × (1 - 40%)]

0.09 = [ 0.40 × 0.04 (0.66) ] + [Cost of Equity × (0.60)]

0.09 = [ 0.01056 ] + [Cost of Equity × (0.60)]

0.07944 = [Cost of Equity × (0.60)]

Cost of Equity = 0.1324

Cost of Equity = 13.24% (Approx)

Sonja [21]
<span>For a producer surplus of $180 coming from sales of 12 units, this would be the result from (180 / 12), or $15 per purse. Taking the cost she has to pay for each unit, $35, and adding the $15 surplus to each, this leads to a sale price of (35 + 15), or $50 per purse.</span>
