Explanation / Answer

EQUITY MARKET VALUE = 89.17*12700 = 1132459
PREFFERED MARKET VALUE =175.03*7000= 1225210
DEBT MARKET VALUE = 959.77*6736 = 6465010.72
TOTAL= 8822679.72
EQUITY PERCENTAGE =.13
PREFFERED MARKET PERCENTAGE=.14
DEBT PERCENTAGE=.73
TOTAL BOOK= 10721000
EQUITY BOOK PERCENTAGE= .26
PREFFERED BOOK PERCENTAGE = .12
DEBT BOOK PERCENTAGE=.62
A ADJUSTED WACC, MARKET VALUE
= .13*16.97%+.14*13.67%+.73*10.9%*(1-.4) = 7.24614
ADJUSTED WACC BOOK VALUE
= .26*16.97%+.12*13.67+.62*10.9 *(1-.4)= 7.68636
B ADJUSTED WACC, MARKET VALUE
= .13*16.97%+.14*13.67%+.73*10.9%*(1-.25) = 9.057675
ADJUSTED WACC BOOK VALUE
= .26*16.97%+.12*13.67+.62*10.9 *(1-.25) = 9.60795
C. ADJUSTED WACC, MARKET VALUE
= .13*16.97%+.14*13.67%+.73*10.9%*(1-.2) = 9.66152
ADJUSTED WACC BOOK VALUE
= .26*16.97%+.12*13.67+.62*10.9 *(1-.2) =10.24848

D. ADJUSTED WACC, MARKET VALUE
= .13*16.97%+.14*13.67%+.73*10.9%*(1-.05) =11.473055
ADJUSTED WACC BOOK VALUE
= .26*16.97%+.12*13.67+.62*10.9 *(1-.05) =12.17017
