12.06%

Explanation:

The formula to compute WACC is shown below:

= Weightage of debt * cost of debt * (1 - tax rate) + (Weightage of common stock) * (cost of common stock)

= (0.30 * 8%) * (1 - 35%) + (0.70 * 15%)

= 1.56% + 10.5%

= 12.06%

Simply we multiply the cost of each capital structure with its weightage so that the correct weighted average cost of capital can come
