(6 marks) d) Assuming that the 2019 tax rate continues to apply in future and that the cost of debt before tax shield benefit is 2%, find the after-tax cost of debt. Assuming that the cost of equity is 4.9% and using information given in the forecast table above, calculate the WACC (weighted average cost of capital). Round it to the nearest one tenth of a percent. Assuming that NFE equals previous year NFO times the after-tax cost of debt, calculate NFE and CE for the years 2020 to 2022.
