You were hired as a consultant to Giambono Company, whose target capital structure is 40% debt, 15% preferred, and 45% common equity. The after-tax cost of debt is 6.00%, the cost of preferred is 7.50%, and the cost of retained earnings is 12.75%. The firm will not be issuing any new stock. What is its WACC?

Weighted Average Cost of Capital = 9.25

Explanation:

given data

Weight of debt = 40%

Weight of Preferred = 15%

Weight of equity = 45%

Cost of debt = 6%

Cost of Preferred = 7.50%

Cost of equity or retained earnings = 12.75%

solution

we get here Weighted Average Cost of Capital that is express as

Weighted Average Cost of Capital = (Cost of debt × Weight of debt) + (Cost of Preferred × Weight of Preferred) + ( Cost of equity × weight of equity)  1

put here value and we will get

Weighted Average Cost of Capital = (6% × 40%) + (7.5% × 15%) + (12.75% × 45%)

Weighted Average Cost of Capital = 0.092625

Weighted Average Cost of Capital = 9.25

it's actually a very difficult task, due to not many people can make 2 million dollars in 2 years. besides that, to the not-so-realistic ideas, you can create a business. it could be practically anything, but make it into a business that isn't that known yet, you get me? also, lets not forget about stock market. that's where all the good stuff happens. use investments at the beginning and begin to raise up your business or whatever you're going to do. as this is a very non-realistic idea, it's still worth the shot!

answer; manager working long hours; plz check i believe this is correct good luck;
