Question
I need help especifically with the part where they rearrange the equation as:
.0790(V/E) = .11 + .058(.75)(D/E).
How do they get an inverse (V/E) on the left side without the .11. And how do they get a (D/E) ratio.

Famas's LLamas has a weighted average cost of
capital of 7.9%. The company's cost of equity is
11% and its pretaxt cost of debt is 5.8%. The taxt

equity ratio?
Here is the solution:
Here we have the WACC and need to find the
debt-equity ratio of the company. Setting up the
WACC equation, we find:
WACC = .0790 =.11(E/M) + .058(D/)(1 – .25)
Rearranging the equation, we find:
.0790(V/E) = .11+.058(.75)(D/E)
%3D
Now we must realize that the V/E is just the
equity multiplier, which is equal to:
