Explanation / Answer

Calculation of cost of debt $1,058 =71/(1+r)+71/(1+r)^2 ....1071/(1+r)^10 r =6.30% Calculation of cost of preferred stocks $25.73 =$1.92/rp rp=$1.92/$25.73 =7.46% Calculation of cost of equity $54.32=$3.06*(1+4.8%)^2/(re-4.8%) re=10.99% Value of Bonds =$3,600,000*$1,058= $3,808,800,000 Preferred Stock =$1,800,000*$25.73= $46,314,000 Common Stock $6,100,000*$54.32= $331,352,000 Total value = $4,186,466,000 WACC = $3,808,800,000/$4,186,466,000*6.30%*(1-30%) +$46,314,000/$4,186,466,000*7.46% + $331,352,000/$4,186,466,000*10.99% =4.965%
