WACC = weight of equity x cost of equity + weight of debt x cost of debt x (1 - tax rate) + weight of preferred equity x dividend yield
According to the capital asset price model: Expected rate of return = risk free + beta x (market rate of return - risk free rate of return)
r= 3% + 1.1 x 8 = 11.8
equity = 0.4 x 11.8% = 4.72
d = 0.4 x 5 x (1 -0.21) = 1.58
p = 0.2 x 6 = 1.2
11.8 + 1.58 + 1.2 =
