Baron corporation has a target capital structure of 65 percent common stock, 10 percent preferred stock, and 25 percent debt. its cost of equity is 13 percent, the cost of preferred stock is 6 percent, and the pretax cost of debt is 7 percent. the relevant tax rate is 25 percent.
a. what is the company’s wacc? (do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e. g., 32.16.)
b. what is the aftertax cost of debt?
a. wacc %.
b. aftertax cost of debt %.

 a. WACC = Ke(E/V) + kp(P/V) + kd(D/V)(1-T)

               WACC = 13(65/100) + 6(10/100) + 7(25/100)(1-0.25)

               WACC = 8.45 + 0.6 + 1.3125

               WACC = 10.36%

              WACC is 10.36%

              b. The after tax cost of debt = kd(1-T)

                                                                = 7(1-0.25)

                                                                = 5.25%

Explanation: WACC equals cost of equity multiplied by the proportion of equity in the capital structure plus cost of preferred stock multiplied by the proportion of preferred stock in the capital structure plus cost of debt multiplied by the after-tax proportion of debt in the capital structure.

you can lose ranking 2 ways.

1) you don't have enough points due to you expending them by asking questions/your answers are deleted.

2) your brainliest's expired. this means that brainliests, once they exceed the 30 day limit, expires. this is to ensure that you continue to contribute into the community at a constant rank if you want to continue to have/exceed the rank you have right now.

if you go to profile, and click "show more information" located on the bottom left of the box with your information (on top of the questions answered, questions asked, and friends), you will be given the following information (example):

member since : 02/13/2017, 18: 11

questions answered: 9741

questions asked: 162

no. of brainliest answers: 1575

brainliest answers in last 30 days: 10

warnings: 0 view

questions/answers reported: 2637

questions/answers incorrectly reported: 64

look at the "brainliest answers in the last 30 days". this is the one that will affect your rank other than your points. again, once your brainliest expires (was earned 31+ days ago), it will not be counted.
