Explanation / Answer

Answer)

Capital structure of ABC

Total Firm Value = Total Debt + Total equity = 120+30 = 150

Weight of debt = 30/150 = 20%

Weight of equity = 120/150 = 80%

Cost of equity = Risk free rate + Beta * Market risk premium

Cost of equity = 3% + 1.2 *4% =7.8%

Cost of debt = 5%

After tax WACC

=weight of debt * cost of debt * (1-tax rate) + weight of equity * cost of equity

= 0.006+0.0624=0.0684 or 6.84%
