Answer:

b) 9.05 percent

Explanation:

The computation of the firm before tax cost of debt is shown below:

The Weight of debt is

= 100 - 70

=30%

Now  

WACC = Respective cost × Respective weight

11 = (0.7 × 13) + (0.3 × Cost of debt)

11 = 9.1 + (0.3 × Cost of debt)

Cost of debt = (11 - 9.1) ÷ 0.3

= 6.333%(Approx)

Now

Pre-tax Cost of debt is

= Cost of debt ÷ (1 - tax rate)

= 6.333 ÷ (1 - 0.3)

= 9.05%

hence, the correct option is b.

= ($3,000 + $15,000) ÷ ($250,000) × 100

= 7.2%

c. The percentage is

= (Internal and external failures) ÷ (Sales revenue) × 100

= ($8,600 + $4,000 + $21,000 + $6,000 + $5,000) ÷ ($250,000) × 100
