Explanation / Answer

Market value of equity= 250000*28 =7000000

Market value of debt =7500*1000 =7500000

Risk free rate (Rf) =(45/955) =4.712%

Cost of Equity =Rf +beta*Market risk premium =4.712%+1.25*7% =13.462%

Cost of debt =7*(1-0.34) = 4.62 %

WACC =(7000000/(7000000+7500000))*13.462% +(7500000/(7000000+7500000))*4.62%

WACC =8.8886%
