Hi!! The WACC's formula is: WACC = Wd*rD*(1-T) + Ws*rS + Wp*rP; where: Wd = weight of debt Ws = weight of common stocks Wp = weight of preferred stocks Wd + Ws + Wp = 1 rD = cost of debt rS = cost of common stocks rP = cost of preferred stocks T = tax rate In this case we have: Wd = 0.45 Ws = 0.5 Wp = 0.05 Wd + Ws + Wp = 1 rD = 7.5% rS = 14% rP = 6% T = 0.35 Then: WACC = Wd*rD*(1-T) + Ws*rS + Wp*rP = = 0.45*7.5%*0.65 + 0.5*14% + 0.05*6% = = 9,49375 % See for additional reference: "Weighted Average Cost of Capital - WACC": http://www.investopedia.com/terms/w/wacc.asp "WACC - Weighted Average Cost of Capital": http://www.valuebasedmanagement.net/methods_wacc.html Search strategy: WACC formula I hope this helps you.
