Answer:
b. 9.00%
Explanation:
For the computation of WACC first we need to follow some steps which is shown below:-
Step 1
Cost of debt = 5.48% which is explained with the help of attachment.
Given that,
Present value = $1,555.38
Future value or Face value = $1,000
PMT = 1,000 × 11% = $110
NPER = 15 years
The formula is shown below:
= Rate(NPER;PMT;-PV;FV;type)
The present value come in negative
So, after applying the above formula, the cost of debt is
Step 2
Cost of preferred stock = Annual preferred dividend ÷ Price
= $8 × $92.25
= 0.086721
Step 3
Cost of equity = Dividend ÷ (Stock price × (1 - flotation cost)) + Growth rate
= 2.78 ÷ (33.35 × (1 - 0.08)) + 0.092
= 18.26%
WACC = Weight of debt × Cost debt) + (Weight of preference stock × Cost of preference stock) + (Weight of equity × cost of equity)
= (0.58 × (0.0548 × (1 - 0.4)) + (0.06 × 0.086721) + (0.36 × 0.1826068)
= 9.00%
