Problem 11-15 Spreadsheet Problem: Divisional WACCs (LG11-7)

Suppose your firm has decided to use a divisional WACC approach to analyze projects. The firm currently has four divisions, A through D, with average betas for each division of 0.7, 1.0, 1.4, and 1.6, respectively. Assume all current and future projects will be financed with 50 percent debt and 50 percent equity, the current cost of equity (based on an average firm beta of 1.0 and a current risk-free rate of 8 percent) is 14 percent and the after-tax yield on the companys bonds is 10 percent.

What will the WACCs be for each division?

Note: Round your answers to 2 decimal places.
