Answer:

WACC = 0.18 or 18%

Option b is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The WACC or weighted average cost of capital is the cost of a firm's capital structure that can contain one or more of the following components, namely debt, preferred stock and common equity. The formula to calculate the WACC is as follows,

WACC = wD * rD * (1-tax rate)  +  wP * rP  +  wE * rE

Where,

  • w represents the weight of each component
  • D, P and E represents debt, preferred stock and common equity respectively
  • r represents the cost of each component
  • rD * (1-tax rate) represents the after tax cost of debt

WACC = 0.2 * 0.16   +   0.8 * 0.185

WACC = 0.18 or 18%

My left shoulder hurts but I'm not sure if its torn or if i should work out today as well (its not soreness)
STALIN [3.7K]

hope this helps!
