multiple choice

12.60 percent

10.84 percent

13.25 percent

14.32 percent

12.18 percent

correct answer is 13.25 percent.

Explanation:

Debt = (750,000*101%)

        = $757,500  

cost = 8.3*(1-tax rate)

         = 8.3*(1-0.21)

         = 6.557%

Equity = (165000*33)

           = $5,445,000

cost = 14.7%

Preferred stock = (15000*43)

                           =$645000

cost = 8.9%

Total = $645000 + $5,445,000 + $757,500

         = $6847500

weighted average cost of capital = costs*Respective weights

= (757500/6847500*6.557) + (5,445,000/6847500*14.7) +(645000/6847500*8.9)

= 13.25%

Therefore, The weighted average cost of capital is 13.25%
