    Explanation:

    The formula to compute WACC is shown below:

    = (Weightage of debt) * (after cost of debt) + (Weightage of common stock) * (cost of common stock)

    where,

    Weighted of debt = Debt : total firm

    The total firm includes debt, and the equity which equals to

    = 2.450 billion * $ 1 + 1.650 billion * $6.25

    = 2.450 billion + 10.3125 billion

    = 12.7625 billion

    So, Weighted of debt = ($2.450 billion : $12.7625 billion) = 0.192

    And, the weighted of common stock = (Common stock : total firm)

    = $10.3125 billion : $12.7625 billion

    = 0.808

    Now put these values to the above formula

    So, the value would equal to

    = (0.192 * 2.7%) + (0.808 * 8.65%)

    = 0.5184% + 6.9892%

    = 7.51%
