Explanation / Answer

1. cost of debt (Kd) in lakhs

interest long debt interest/ long debt

1/3/16 5.52 128.57 4.29%

1/1/17 7.26 224.42 3.23%

31/12/17 9.34 306.75 3.04%

average cost of debt (Kd) = (4.29+3.23+3.04) / 3 = 3.52%

2.

cost of equity (Ke) in lakhs

net income equity net income / equity

1/3/16 54.09 711.5 7.6%

1/1/17 165.04 704.18 23.43%

31/12/17 13 601.6 2.17%

average cost of equity (Ke) = (7.6 + 23.43 + 2.17) / 3 = 11.06%

3.

longterm debt equity total wt.debt wt.equity

3/1/16 128.57 711.55 840.12 0.1806 0.8193

1/1/17 224.42 704.18 928.6 0.2416 0.758  

31/12/17 306.75 711.5 1018.25 0.30 0.70

average weights = 0.24 0.76

WACC = Kd * wt.debt + Ke * wt.equity = 0.24*3.52% + 0.76*11.06% = 9.25%

note:-

for determining WACC Rf and Rm irrelevant and sum can be done in other way i.e. for each year WACC to be determined and then average of 3years WACC can also be taken where the answer differs.
