Elias Berger · Answer 1

WACC = ke (E/V) + Kd (D/V)

WACC = 15 (0.40) + 9 (0.60)

WACC = 6 + 5.4

WACC = 11.4%

Explanation:

WACC is a function of cost of equity multiplied by the proportion of equity in the capital structure plus cost of debt multiplied by the proportion of debt in the capital structure. The proportion of equity in the capital is expressed as E/V (0.40) while the proportion of debt in the capital structure is expressed as D/V (0.60).
