Answer:
9%
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.
According to WACC formula
WACC = ( Cost of common stock x Weightage of common stock ) + ( Cost of preferred stock x Weightage of preferred stock ) + ( Cost of debt ( 1- t) x Weightage of debt )
As WACC is calculated using Market values.
Company Value = 100%
Value of Debt = 28%
Value of Debt = 100% - 28% = 72%
WACC = ( 10.54% x 72% ) + ( 5.27% x 28% )
WACC = 7.59% + 1.48% = 9.07% = 9% (rounded off)
