Answer:(12.76)
Explanation / Answer
(1) Debt = D = $ 130 million, Preferred Stock = P = $ 36 million, Common Equity = E = $ 288 million
Total Value = 130 + 36 + 288 = $ 454 million
Cost of Debt = Minimum possible borrowing rate = 6.79 %
Cost of Equity = Required Return on Common Equity = 16.9 %
Preferred Stock Price = $ 18.02 and Preferred Stock Dividend = $ 1.8
Cost of Preferred Equity = 1.8 / 18.02 = 0.0998 or 9.98 %
Tax Rate = 36 %
WACC = (1-0.36) x 6.79 x (130/454) + 16.9 x (288/454) + 9.98 x (36/454) = 12.756 % or 12.76 % approximately.
