    WACC = 10.868%

    Explanation:

    The following data table will show the easiest way to calculate weighted average cost of capital.

    Capital components Investment ($) Weight

    Debt Capital (Wd) 230,000 230,000 : 570,000 = 0.40

    Equity Capital (We) 320,000 320,000 : 570,000 = 0.56

    Preference capital (Wp) 20,000 20,000 : 570,000 = 0.04

    Total Investment $570,000 1.00

    We know,

    WACC = [Wd * Kd (1 - T) ] + [Wp * kp] + [We * ke]

    Given,

    Kd (1 - T) = 9.6% * (1 - 0.25) = 7.2%

    kp = 10.7%

    ke = 13.5%

    WACC = [0.40 * 7.2%] + [0.04 * 10.7%] + [0.56 * 13.5%]

    or, WACC = 2.88% + 0.428% + 7.56%

    Therefore, WACC = 10.868%
