Answer:
B. 10.8%
Explanation:
To get the Market value of equity = 25m x $18 = $450 million
The Market value of debt is given to be = $150 million
To get the weight of equity= 450/600
To get the weight of debt = 150/600
we have Ke as cost of equity= 13%
Such that after tax cost of debt = 7%(1-0.40) = 4.2%
Then the Weighted average cost of capital = We(Ke) + Wd(Kd)
= 450/600 x 13% + 150/600 x 4.2%
This gives us
= 9.75% + 1.05%
Therefore the answer is
= 10.80%
