Question

Johansen Corporation has a target capital structure of 60 percent common stock and 40 percent debt. Its cost of equity is 14 percent, and the cost of debt is 8 percent. The relevant tax rate is 30 percent.What is the company's WACC?

Answer 1

10.64%

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the WACC is shown below:

= Weightage of debt × cost of debt × ( 1- tax rate) + (Weightage of common stock) × (cost of common stock)

= (0.40 × 8%) × ( 1 - 30%) + (0.60 × 14%)

= 2.24% + 8.4%

= 10.64%

Simply we multiply the weightage with its capital structure so that the Accurate weighted cost of capital can be calculated
