Capital asset pricing model measure the expected return on an asset or investment. it is considered as the cost of common stock.

Formula for CAPM

Cost of Equity = Risk free rate + beta ( market return - risk free rate )

Cost of Equity = Rf + β ( Mrp )

Cost of Equity = 3% + 1.6 ( 8% ) = 15.8%

Preferred stock = $2 / $26 = 0.077 = 7.7%

Debt = 8%

Placing values in the formula

WACC = ( 15.8% x $7 billion / $22 billion ) + ( 8% ( 1- 0.3) x $13 billion / $22 billion ) + ( 7.7% x $2 billion / $22 billion )

WACC = 5.03% + 3.31% + 0.7% = 9.04%
