Question

Mullineaux Corporation has a target capital structure of 70 percent common stock and 30 percent debt. Its cost of equity is 16 percent, and the cost of debt is 10 percent. The relevant tax rate is 30 percent. What is the companyâs WACC? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

Answer 1

Answer:

The company WACC is 13.30%

Explanation:

For computing the WACC, first we have to find the weight-age of both debt and equity.

Since in the question, the weightage of debt and equity is given which is equals to

Debt = 30%

And, Equity or common stock = 70%

So, we can easily compute the WACC. The formula is shown below

= Weighted of debt × cost of debt × (1- tax rate) + Weighted of equity × cost of equity

= 0.30 × 0.10 × (1 - 0.30) + 0.70 × 0.16

= 0.021 + 0.112

= 13.30%

Hence, the company WACC is 13.30%
