    Answer: 9.07%

    Explanation:

    The Weighted Average Cost of Capital is essentially how much it costs a company to raise all the capital it has including long term debt and equity.

    It is calculated by weighing each category of capital with their cost to find the Weighted Average.

    In this scenario therefore it will be calculated by,

    = 0.37 (0.061) + 0.63 (0.143)

    = 0.02257 + 0.09009

    = 0.11266

    = 11.27%

    It is said that Division A's projects are assigned a discount rate that is 2.2 percent less than the firm's weighted average cost of capital. That would be,

    = 11.27 - 2.2

    = 9.07%

    The discount rate applicable to Division A is 9.07%
