Answer:
the Weighted average cost of capital is 14.38%
Explanation:
The computation of the weighted average cost of capital is shown below:
Weight of equity is
= 1 ÷ (1 + Debt equity Ratio)
= 1 ÷ 1.5
And, Weight of Debt is
= 0.5 ÷ 1.5
Now
WACC = Weight of Equity × Cost of Equity + Weight of Debt × Cost of Debt × (1 - Tax rate)
= 1 ÷ 1.5 × 18% + 0.5 ÷ 1.5 × 11% × (1 - 35%)
= 14.38%
hence, the Weighted average cost of capital is 14.38%
