a
Cost of capital = interest rate of parents = 2%
b
| Total Capital value = Value of Parents + Value of Friends + Value of Bank loan | 
| =10000+3000+7000 | 
| =20000 | 
| Weight of Parents = Value of Parents/Total Capital Value | 
| = 10000/20000 | 
| =0.5 | 
| Weight of Friends = Value of Friends/Total Capital Value | 
| = 3000/20000 | 
| =0.15 | 
| Weight of Bank loan = Value of Bank loan/Total Capital Value | 
| = 7000/20000 | 
| =0.35 | 
| Cost of Capital = Weight of Parents*Cost of Parents+Weight of Friends*Cost of Friends+Weight of Bank loan*Cost of Bank loan | 
| Cost of Capital = 2*0.5+5.5*0.15+10*0.35 | 
| Cost of Capital = 5.325 | 
c
| Total Capital value = Value of Parents + Value of Friends + Value of Bank loan | 
| =10000+3000+17000 | 
| =30000 | 
| Weight of Parents = Value of Parents/Total Capital Value | 
| = 10000/30000 | 
| =0.3333 | 
| Weight of Friends = Value of Friends/Total Capital Value | 
| = 3000/30000 | 
| =0.1 | 
| Weight of Bank loan = Value of Bank loan/Total Capital Value | 
| = 17000/30000 | 
| =0.5667 | 
| Cost of Capital = Weight of Parents*Cost of Parents+Weight of Friends*Cost of Friends+Weight of Bank loan*Cost of Bank loan | 
| Cost of Capital = 2*0.3333+5.5*0.1+10*0.5667 |
