    = 9%

    Explanation

    The weighted Average cost of Capital (WACC) is the average cost of capital for the different sources of long-term capital available to a firm weighted according to the proportion each source of finance bears to the total capital in the pool.

    The after tax WACC will be computed as follows

    Step 1

    Compute the after-tax cost of debt

    After-tax cost of debt =

    =10% * (1-0.3)

    =7%

    Note : observe that this lower than the before tax cost, this is due to the tax savings on interest cost

    Cost of equity = 13%

    Debt equity ratio = 2:1

    Step 2

    Calculate the WACC

    WACC = ((13% * 1) + (7%*2)) / 3

    = 0.09 * 100

    = 9%
