The tax rate is 30% a. What is the book value adjusted WACC for BBB Inc. at a tax rate of 30%D96 (Round to two decimal places.) b What is the market value adjusted WACC for BBB Inc. at a tax rate of 30%? % Round to two decimal places.

Explanation / Answer

a,

book value adjusted WACC=(3227000/(3227000+1138000+5598000))*16.93%+(1138000/(3227000+1138000+5598000))*12.78%+(5598000/(3227000+1138000+5598000))*9.6%*(1-30%)

=10.72%

b.

market value adjusted WACC=((101.32*110000)/(101.32*110000+199.87*6000+1082.87*5598))*16.93%+((199.87*6000)/(101.32*110000+199.87*6000+1082.87*5598))*12.78%+((1082.87*5598)/(101.32*110000+199.87*6000+1082.87*5598))*9.6%*(1-30%)

=13.30%

the above is the answer
