(Round to two decimal places.)

Expert Solution

Total value of equity=35*14

=$490 million

Total value=(490+521)=$1011 million

a.WACC=Respective cost*Respective weight

=(490/1011*10)+(521/1011*5)

=7.42%(Approx)

b.Cost of debt after-tax=5*(1-tax rate)

=5*(1-0.21)=3.95%

WACC=Respective cost*Respective weight

=(490/1011*10)+(521/1011*3.95)

=6.88%(Approx)
