Explanation:

Let us understand the term what is elastic & "inelastic".

Elastic: It is the change in the behavior of the buyer & the seller when the product price changes.

Elastic goods will always have an substitute.

Example: Books, pencil, Notebook, bread, etc,

Western Electric has 31,500 shares of common stock outstanding at a price per share of $78 and a rate of return of 13.05 percent
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

WACC = 11.13%

Explanation:

total market value common stocks = 31,500 x $78 = $2,457,000

total market value of preferred stock = 7,250 x $94.50 = $685,125

total market value of debt = $401,000 x 1.105 = $443,105

total = $3,575,230

Rcs = 13.05%

Rps = $7.70 / $94.50 = 8.15%

Rd = 8.05%

WACC = ($2,457,000/$3,575,230 x 13.05%) + ($685,125/$3,575,230 x 8.15%) + ($443,105/$3,575,230 x 8.05% x 60%) = 8.968% + 1.562% + 0.6% = 11.13%
