Answer:

The WACC for this project is 22.72%.

Explanation:

P = common stock current selling price per share = $22.35

D1 = Expected dividend next year = $2.78

F = Floating cost = 8%, or 0.08

g = growth rate = 9.2%, or 0.092

t = tax rate = 0.25

r = Ke = cost of equity

The cost of equity can be calculated using the dividend grow model with the consideration of the effect of the issuance or floating cost that reduces cash collected as follows:

P(1 – F) = D1 / (r – g) ….................... (1)

Substituting the relevant value into equation (1) and solve r as follows:

22.35(1 – 0.08) = 2.78 / (r – 0.092)

22.35 * 0.92 = 2.78 / (r – 0.092)

20.562 = 2.78 / (r – 0.092)

20.562 (r – 0.092) = 2.78

20.562r - 1.891704 = 2.78

20.562r  = 2.78 + 1.891704

20.562r = 4.671704

r = 4.671704 / 20.562

r = 0.2272, or 22.72%

Since there is no information that shows there is a debt, this implies that WACC is equal to the cost of equity. Therefore, we have:

WACC = r = Ke = 22.72
