		Weight	Cost	Weighted Cost
Debt		0.3421	7.26%	2.48%
Equity		0.6579	16%	10.53%

Total				13.01%

So, WACC is 13.01%

Working:

After tax cost of debt	=	Before tax cost of debt*(1-Tax rate)
	=	11%*(1-0.34)
	=	7.26%

Debt	0.52
Equity	1.00

Total	1.52

So, weight of:

Debt	0.52	/	1.52	=	0.3421
Equity	1.00	/	1.52	=	0.6579

Total					1.0000
