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 %
