Expert Solution

Step 1 Computation of cost of capital of FREDS
Cost of capital = Wd * Kd + We * Ke
Where
We = Weight of debt
Cost of capital = Wd* Kd + We * Ke
Wd = Weight of debt
Cost of capital = Wd * Kd + We * Ke
Kd = Cost of debt.
= I (1-t).
I = Interest
= 50 * 12.13%.
= 6.065.
T = Tax rate.
= 0.
Kd= 6.065 (1-0).
Kd = 6.065.
