    8.04%

    Explanation:

    The formula to compute WACC is shown below:

    = Weightage of debt * cost of debt * (1 - tax rate) + (Weightage of common equity * (cost of common equity)

    = (0.38 * 5.46%) * (1 - 40%) + (0.62 * 10.96%)

    = 1.24488% + 6.7952%

    = 8.04%

    The weightage of common equity would be

    = 100% - 38%

    = 62%
