Answer:

9.0%

Explanation:

Calculation to determine the WACC for this firm

First step

Common stock=284,000 × $68

Common stock= $19,312,000

Second step is to calculate the Preferred stock

Preferred stock=9,000 × $88

Preferred stock= $792,000

Debt= 7,500 × .979 × $1,000

Debt = $7,342,500

Value = $19,312,000 + 792,000 + $7,342,500

Value= $27,446,500

Second step

RE = .041 + 1.04(.146-.041)

RE= .1502

RE = ($2.62 /$68) + .025

RE= .0635

Average RE = (.1502+ .0635)/2

Average RE = .1069

RP = $8/$88

RP = .0909

Fourth step

$979 = [(.068 × $1,000) / 2] × ({1- 1 / [1 + (r/ 2)]22} / (r / 2)) + $1,000 / [1 + (r / 2)]22

r = 7.08 %

Now let calculate the WACC

WACC = ($19,312,000/$27,446,500)(.1069) + ($792,000/$27,446,500)(.0909) + ($7,342,500/$27,446,500)(.0708)(1 -.34)

WACC= .090*100

WACC=9.0 %

Therefore the WACC for this firm is 9.0%

natima [27]

Answer:

total personal and dependency exemptions = $28,400
