You wish to find the appropriate WACC to use for a capital project with a projected ten-year life. The project has the same risk as the overall firm.

The beta of the firm's equity is 1.1 and you estimate the the market risk premium to be 8%.

The average yield on the firm's short-term debt is 4.3%. The firm recently issued a ten-year bond with a yield to maturity of 13.3%. The three-month treasury bill yields 1% and a federal government ten year bond yields 4% The firm's corporate tax rate is 22.4%.

The current debt/equity ratio of the firm is 1, and the firm plans to fund the factory using the same financing mix.
