    a. 8.15%

    Explanation:

    In order to find the WACC we will multiply the cost of each type of capital source and multiply it by it's weight

    Common Equity = Weight of equity * Cost of equity

    =0.55*0.1125=0.061875=6.1875%

    Preferred stock = Weight of preferred stock*yield of preferred stock

    0.10*0.06=0.006 = 0.6%

    Debt = Weight of debt*interest rate * (1-tax rate)

    =0.35*0.065 * (1-0.4)

    =0.01365=1.365%

    Add all of these to find WACC

    6.1875+1.365+0.6 = 8.15%
