Answer:

a. 10.14%

Explanation:

WACC = wE*rE + wP*rP + wD*rD(1-tax)     whereby;

w= weight of...

r = cost of..

Find the market values;

Common equity(E) = 5,000,000* 8 = 40,000,000

Preferred stock(P) = 10,000,000

Debt (D) = 100,000 *1000 *0.96 = 96,000,000

Total value = 146,000,000

Therefore;

wE= 0.2740

wP = 0.0685

wD = 0.6575

Cost of capital;

rE = 19% or 0.19

rP = 15% or 0.15

rD = 9% or 0.09

WACC = (0.2740*0.19) + (0.0685 * 0.15) + [0.6575*0.09(1-0.34)]

WACC = 0.0521 + 0.0103 + 0.0391

WACC = 0.1015 or about 10.14%
