Your company has two divisions: One division sells software and the other division sells computers through a direct sales channel, primarily taking orders over the internet.

Your tax rate is 38% and you use a market risk premium of 5.1% in your WACC estimates.

b. If your overall company WACC is 11.1% and the computer sales division represents 38% of the value of your firm, what is an estimate of the WACC for your software division?
