    6.5%

    Explanation:

    Firstly, we need to calculate weighted average cost of capital (WACC) as below

    WACC = Weight of equity x Cost of equity + Weight of debt x Cost of debt x (1 - Tax rate)

    = 67% x 10.6% + (1 - 67%) x 3.34%

    = 8.2%

    Then, we will add the risk adjustment factor to this WACC to get the proper WACC of the new project, which is 8.2% - 1.7% = 6.5%
