Answer:
WACC - new project = 6.408% rounded off to 6.41%
Explanation:
The WACC or weighted average cost of capital is the cost of a firm's capital structure. The capital structure can consist of one or more of the following components namely debt, preferred stock and common equity. The WACC is calculated as follows,
WACC = wD * rD * (1 - tax rate) + wP * rP + wE * rE
Where,
- w represents the weight of each component
- r represents the cost of each component
- D, P and E represents debt, preferred stock and common equity
- rD * (1 - tax rate) is the after tax cost of debt
We first need to calculate the WACC of the company and then adjust it for the new project.
WACC = 35% * 3.28% + 65% * 10.4%
WACC = 7.908%
As the new project is less risky and has an adjustment factor of -1.5%, the required rate of return for the new project will be,
WACC - new project = 7.908% - 1.5%
WACC - new project = 6.408% rounded off to 6.41%
