Assume that your company is trying to determine its optimal capital structure, which consists only of
debt and common stock. To estimate the cost of debt, the company has produced the following
table:
09.86%
9.56%
Percent Financed
With Debt
10.16%
8.96%
9.26%

0.50
Percent Financed
With Equity
0.90
0.80
0.70
0.60
0.50
Debt/Equity
Ratio
Now assume that the company's tax rate is 40 percent, that the company uses the CAPM to
estimate its cost of common equity, Ks, that the risk-free rate is 5 percent and the market risk
premium is 6 percent. Finally assume that if it has no debt its WACC would be equal to its cost of
equity which would be equal to 11 percent (you should now be able to determine its "unlevered
beta," bu).
0.10/0.90 0.11
0.20/0.80 0.25
Given this information, determine the firm's cost of capital if it finances with 40 percent debt and 60
percent equity.
0.30/0.70=0.43
0.40/0.600.67
0.50/0.50 = 1.00

You have the following data for your company.
Market Value of Equity: $520
Book Value of Debt: $130
Required rate of return on equity: 12%
Required rate of return on debt (pre-tax): 7%
Corporate tax rate: 25%
The company's debt is assumed to be is reasonably safe, so the book value of debt is a reasonably approximation for the market value of debt.
What is the weighted average cost of capital for this company?
