Turnbull Co. is considering a project that requires an initial investment of $1,708,000. The firm will raise the $1,708,000 in capital by issuing $750,000 of debt at a before-tax cost of 8.7%, $78,000 of preferred stock at a cost of 9.9%, and $880,000 of equity at a cost of 13.2%. The firm faces a tax rate of 25%. What will be the WACC for this project? (Note: Round your intermediate calculations to three decimal places.)

Answer:

10.23%(approx)

Explanation:

WACC for this project:

= (Debt ÷ Initial investment) × cost × (1 - tax rate) + (Preferred stock ÷ Initial investment) × cost + (Equity ÷ Initial investment) × cost

= (750,000 ÷ 1,708,000) × 8.7 × (1 - 0.25) + (78,000 ÷ 1,708,000) × 9.9 + (880,000 ÷ 1,708,000) × 13.2

= (0.44 × 8.7 × 0.75) + (0.05 × 9.9) + (0.52 × 13.2)

= 2.871 + 0.495 + 6.864

= 10.23%(approx)
