Tesla Hired the investment bank evecore partners while solarcity hired lazard et freres, to value the deal and provide a fairness opinion. If the deal was successful, solarCity expected to realize acost synergies of 20 percent of its capital expenditures although some investors believe 10 percent synergies would be more realistic. Necuase the deal was to be structured as a stock swap, The challenge was to calculate a fair exchange ratio. Tesla instructed Evercore to create a discounted cash flow analysis based on publicly available consensus estimates of the goldman sachs group, inc. and the institutional Brokers estimate system. These forecast assumed that solarCity had successfully reduced its market to equity ratio to 1:1 from 2017 onwards. At that time, the 30 year U.S treasury was 2.5 per cent. A market risk premium of 5 percent and a terminal growth rate of 4% percent were commonly used for the solar power industry. For SolarCity its beta was estimated between 1.95-2.40 from different sources. The cost of debt 6.8 percent much higher than the industry average of 5.8 percent due to high default risk, could drop to 6.5 percent in 2017 with a lower debt level. The expected tax rate would be 20 per cent when solarcity had stable taxable income. After the merger, SolarCity would be able to maintain more stable capital expenditure, depreciation and both banks felt that an offer of 0.082 tesla shared for each SolarCity share would be a good deal for the shareholders of both companies. This ratio was based on the analyst valuation of both tesla and SolarCity stocks, tesla was valued at 358.60 $ per share and all parties felt comfortable with this valuation. However, whether solarcitys share price of 29.35 with 35 percent premium, was a reasonable estimate was open to some debate. with the backing of credible third-party bank and the support of loyal tesla shareholders, Musk felt confident the deal would go through.

What is the weighted average cost of capital with the above information?
