Answer:
12.75 %
Explanation:
Cost of Capital is calculated on a Weighted Average basis. This is because there is a Pooling of Funds when it comes to financing projects. So Cost of Capital is the Return that is Required by providers of Long Term source of finance.
Cost of Capital = E/V × Ke + D/V × Kd
Where,
E/V = Market Weight of Equity
= 0.55
Ke = Cost of Equity
= 15%
D/E = Market Weight of Debt
= 0.45
Kd = Cost of Debt
= 10%
Therefore,
Cost of Capital = 0.55 × 15% + 0.45 × 10%
= 12.75 %

Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
a. Marpor's value without leverage is
But before that first we have to calculate the required rate of return which is
The Required rate of return = Risk Free rate of return + Beta × market risk premium
= 5% + 1.1 × (15% - 5%)
= 16%
Now without leverage is
= Free cash flows generates ÷ required rate of return
= $16,000,000 ÷ 16%
= $100,000,000
b. And, with the new leverage is
= (Free cash flows with debt ÷ required rate of return) + (Tax rate × increase of debt)
= ($15,000,000 ÷ 0.16) + (0.35 × $40,000,000)
= $93,750,000 + $14,000,000
= $107,750,000
