(11-7) WACC

Shi Import-Exports balance sheet shows $300 million in debt, $50 million in preferred stock, and $250 million in total common equity. Shis tax rate is 25%, rd = 6% , rps = 5.8% , and rs = 12%. If Shi has a target capital structure of 30% debt, 5% preferred stock, and 65% common stock, what is its WACC? Answer: 9.44%.

Suppose the values for this problem change to:

Pre-Tax Cost of Debt: 4.7%

Cost of Preferred Stock: 7.5%

Cost of Common Equity: 11.8%

Tax Rate: 35%

What is the cost of capital (WACC)?
