Answer:

The WACC is 11.64%

Explanation:

The weighted average cost of capital or WACC is the cost to firm of raising its total capital based on its capital structure. The capital structure of the firm can contain debt, preferred stock and common stock. The WACC take the weight of each component as a proportion of total value of assets and multiply it by the rate of return or cost of each component.

WACC = wD * rD * (1-tax rate)  +  wE *rE

Where,

  • wD and wE represent the weights of debt and equity as a proportion of total assets
  • rD and rE are the cost of debt and cost of equity
  • We multiply rD by (-tax rate) because we take after tax cost of debt for WACC calculation

Weight of debt = 2000000 / (2000000 + 3000000)  =  2/5 or 0.4

Weight of equity is = 1 - 0.4 = 0.6

WACC = 0.4 * 0.06 * (1-0.4)  +  0.6 * 0.17

WACC = 0.1164 or 11.64%
