Assignment: Chapter 11 Cost of Capital Refer to the preceding graph, and place the black point (plus symbol) at the point that represents the oCB to find the answer. What is Bryant Manufacturing's optimal capital budget? $100.0 million $120.0 miltion $90.0 million $80.0 miltion What is the company's weighted average cost of capital (WACC) at the optimal capital budget? 12.0% 10.8% 11.0% 11.6%
