    a. cost of debt

    Explanation:

    The formula to compute the weighted average cost of capital is shown below:

    = Weightage of debt * cost of debt * (1 - tax rate) + (Weightage of preferred stock) * (cost of preferred stock) + (Weightage of common stock) * (cost of common stock)

    Since the payment for the dividend is not entitled to a tax deduction but the payment for interest is entitled to a tax deduction. And, the after-tax is considered for the cost of debt and the same is shown in the formula above
