Answer:

1  

Explanation:

Given that,

Weighted average cost of capital = 7%

After-tax cost of debt = 4 percent

Cost of equity = 10 percent

Let the debt of this firm be x, then the equity will be (1 - x),

wacc = (After-tax cost of debt × Debt) + (Cost of equity × Equity)

7% = (4% × x) + [10% × (1 - x)]

0.07 = 0.04x + 0.1 - 0.1x

0.07 = 0.10 - 0.06x

0.06x = 0.10 - 0.07

0.06x = 0.03

x = 0.5

Therefore, if the debt is 0.5 then the equity is 0.5.

Hence, the debt to equity ratio will be:

= 0.5 ÷ 0.5

= 1

The debt-equity ratio is 1 for the firm to achieve its targeted weighted average cost of capital.
