(a)
Rf = 6%
Market Risk Premium = 4%
Pre merger Beta = 1.36
Now Ke = Rf + Beta ( Risk Premium) 6% + 1.36(4%) 11.44%
Kd ( Cost of Debt ) = 11%
Tax Rate = 40%
After tax debt cost = 11%(1-0.40) 6.60%
Particular Market Value Weights Cost (after tax) Weight*Cost
Equity 10000000 0.667 11.44% 7.63%
Bond 5000000 0.333 6.60% 2.20%
Total 15000000 WACC 9.83%

(b)

Post merger Beta 1.36
Rf = 6%
Market Risk Premium = 4%
Now Ke = Rf + Beta ( Risk Premium) 6% + 1.36(4%) 11.44%
