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.
