Generally speaking, the taxpayer can deduct his alimony payment but not his child support payment. He may, however, be entitled to claim the child as a dependent, although this is beyond the scope of the question.
We can deduct the alimony payment but not the child support payment. Smith paid Goode $20,000 in 2017, although he owes 24,000. The adjusted gross income depends only on how much Alimony he paid.
If he paid the full $6,000 alimony and only 14,000 of child support, he can deduct the $6,000 for an adjusted gross income of 50,000- 6,000= $46,000.
If, for example, he paid the full $18,000 in child support and only 2,000 in alimony, he can only deduct the $2,000 for an adjusted gross income of 50,000 - 2,000 =48,000.

Explanation:
WACC is the average cost of capital of the firm based on the weightage of the debt and weightage of the equity multiplied to their respective costs.
As have the cost of capital, we need to calculate the cost of equity.
Cost of Capital = (Cost of Equity x Weightage of equity) + (Cost of Debt x Weightage of Debt)
a.
No Debt
16% = (Cost of Equity x 1 ) + (8.75% x 0)
16% = Cost of Equity + 0
Cost of Equity = 16%
b.
15% Debt and Equity is 85% (100%-15%)
16% = (Cost of Equity x 85% ) + (8.75% x 15%)
0.16 = (Cost of Equity x 0.85) + 0.013125
0.16 - 0.013125 = Cost of Equity x 0.85
0.146875 = Cost of Equity x 0.85
Cost of Equity = 0.146875 / 0.85 = 0.17279
Cost of Equity = 17.3%
c.
50% Debt and Equity is 50% (100%-50%)
16% = (Cost of Equity x 50% ) + (8.75% x 50%)
0.16 = (Cost of Equity x 0.50) + 0.04375
0.16 - 0.04375 = Cost of Equity x 0.50
0.11625 = Cost of Equity x 0.50
Cost of Equity = 0.11625 / 0.50 = 0.2325
Cost of Equity = 23.25%
d.
WACC for b and c are 16%
