WACC = Ke (E/V) + Kp (P/V) + Kd (D/V) (1-T)

WACC = 12 (140,000,000/159,500,000) + 10 (10,000,000/159,500,000) + 6.45 (9,500,000/159,500,000) (1-0.34)

WACC = 10.53 + 0.63 + 0.38

WACC = 11.54%

Market value of the company: $

Market value of common stocks (7,000,000 x $20) 140,000,000

Market value of preferred stocks 10,000,000

Market value of bonds (100,000 x $950) 9,500,000

Market value of the company 159,500,000

Explanation:

In this question, there is need to calculate the market value of the company, which is the sum of market value of common stocks, market value of preferred stocks and market value of bonds.

Cost of each stock is given in the question. Thus, WACC is calculated as the aggregate of cost of each stock an the proportion of market value of each stock to market value of the company.
