    The required return for the new project is 6.87%

    Explanation:

    In order to calculate the required return for the new project we would have to calculate the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) adjusted by risk adjustment factor.

    The Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) = [After Tax Cost of Debt x Weight of Debt] + [Cost of equity x Weight of Equity]

    After - tax Cost of Debt = 3.40%

    Cost of Equity = 10.80%

    Weight of Debt = 0.39

    Weight of Equity = 0.69

    Therefore, the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) = [After Tax Cost of Debt x Weight of Debt] + [Cost of equity x Weight of Equity]

    = [3.40% x 0.39] + [10.80% x 0.69]

    = 1.32% + 7.45%

    = 8.77%

    The required return for the new project = Weighted Average Cost of Capital - Risk Adjustment Factor

    = 8.77% - 1.90%

    = 6.87%

    The required return for the new project is 6.87%
