Answer:

d.9.34%

Explanation:

The formula for the weighted average cost of capital is provided below as a starting point for solving this question:

WACC=(weight of equity*cost of equity)+(weight of debt*after-tax cost of debt)

weight of equity=1-debt %=1-50%=50%

weight of debt=50%

cost of equity=13.6%

after-tax cost of debt=7.8%*(1-35%)

after-tax cost of debt=5.07%

WACC=(50%*13.6%)+(50%*5.07%)

WACC=9.34%

The discount rate is computed based on the target or preferred capital structure
