A firm has $76,000,000 in debt, which accounts for 43% of their total funds raised; the after-tax cost of these funds is 6.10%.

Digiron [165]

11.55% is the weighted average cost of capital for these funds

Explanation:

Firm has 76000000 in debt and 100000000 in equity. Thus the proportion of debt =

= 76000000/(76000000 + 100000000)

= 43.18%

and proportion of equity = 1 - 43.18% = 56.82%

Therefore, WACC = 0.4318 * 6.1 + 0.5682 * 15.7

= 11.55%
