Explanation / Answer

Here first we need to findout the cost of the Debt : rD = 7%(1-.40) = 4.2% rP = D / P = $4 / $78 = 5.12% rE= 1.1(7%-4%)+4% (CAPM) = 7.3% calculating the Weights : The total value of the firm vE = [(40000*1000+15000*1000)+100000*78)+($1800000*$65)] = $65000000+$7800000+$140400000 = $213200000 wD = $65000000 / $213200000 = 0.30 wP = $7800000 / $213200000 = 0.05 wE = $140400000 /$213200000 = 0.65 WACC = wD*rD(1-Tc)+wP*rD+wE*rE = 0.3*0.07(1-0.4)+0.05*0.0512+0.65*0.073 = 6.27%
