    Cost of Equity = 13.15%

    Explanation:

    Debt-Equity Ratio Debt / Equity

    Debt = 0.68 * Equity

    Let Equity = x

    Debt = 0.68x

    Total = $1.68x

    WACC = Respective Costs * Respective Weights

    10.82 = (x/1.68x*Cost of equity) + (0.68x/1.68x*7.4)

    10.82 = (Cost of equity/1.68) + 2.995238095

    Cost of Equity = (10.82-2.995238095) * 1.68

    Cost of Equity = 13.15%
