David Ortiz Motors has a target capital structure of 40% debt and 60% equity. The yield to maturity on the company's outstanding bonds is 10%, and the company's tax rate is 25%. Ortiz's CFO has calculated the company's WACC as 10.2%. What is the company's cost of equity capital? Round your answer to the nearest whole number.
10.2% = [40% * 10% * (1 - 25%)] + [60% * Cost of Equity)
10.2% = 3% + [60% * Cost of Equity)
[60% * Cost of Equity) = 7.2%
Cost of Equity = 12%
