Answer:

a. 8.79%

Explanation:

WACC = Weight of debt * Pretax cost * (1 - Tax) + Weight of Equity * Cost of Equity

Value of Equity = 10,700 * $63 = $674,100

Value of debt = 320 * $1000 * 93.6% = $299,520

Weight of Debt = $299,520/($299,520 + $674,000) = 30.76%

Weight of Equity = $674,000/($299,520 + $674,000) = 69.24%

WACC = 30.76% * 5.89% * (1 - 40%) + 69.24% * 11.13%

WACC = 30.76% * 5.89% * 0.60 +  69.24% * 11.13%

WACC = 0.010870584 + 0.07706412

WACC = 0.087934704

WACC = 8.79%
