    Weighted Average Cost of Capital; formula is as follows;

    WACC = wE*re + wP*wp + wD*rd (1-tax)

    where w = weight of ...

    r = cost of ...

    E = common equity

    P = preferred stock

    D = Debt

    Find the weights of each source of capital;

    WACC = (0.50*0.17) + (0.20*0.03) + [0.20*0.04 (1-0.40) ] + [0.10*0.07 (1-0.40) ]

    WACC = 0.085 + 0.006 + 0.0048 + 0.0042

    WACC = 0.1 or 10%
