    = 9.5%

    Explanation:

    The weighted average cost of capital can be computed as follows:

    After tax cost of debt:

    = Before-tax cost of debt (1-T)

    = 7.8% * (1-0.21)

    = 6%

    Market value

    Equity = 105 * 22 = 2,310.00

    Preferred stock = 25 * 45 = 1,125.00

    Bonds = 98% * 1500=1,470.00

    Type cost Market value Cost * equity

    Equity 12.4 2,310.00 286.44

    Preferred stock 8% 1,125.00 90.00

    Bond 6% 1,470.00 1 90.58

    4,905.00 467.02

    WACC = (467.02/4,905.00) * 100

    = 9.5%
