Answer:
7.85%
Explanation:
Face value of bond =$2000
Price of current bond= face value× 106.5% = $2130
Term= 25 years×2= 50 period
Coupon rate= 7%×1/2= 3.5%
Coupon amount= coupon rate×face value = $2000×3.5/100
=$70 for a period
YTM of bond= [coupon amount+ (maturity value-current price)/Term]/0.6×current price+0.4×maturity value]
YTM of bond= 6.487% per annum
Total market value of bond= 8,400bonds× $2130= $17,892,000
Market value of common stock= 275,000shares × 62.50= $18012500
Weight of common stock= 0.490009385
Weight of preferred stock= 0.023259294
WACC= Wd* Kd + Wc*Kc + Wp*Kp
= 0.486731321× 4.86525% +
0.490009385× 10.9624275+
0.023259294× 4.7368421%
=7.849%
= 7.85%(rounded)
Thus, WACC is 7.85%
