Answer:

10.38%

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the WACC is given below:

WACC = Weight of debt × After tax Cost of debt + Weight of Equity × Cost of Equity

Here After tax cost of debt is

= Cost of debt × (1 - tax rate)

= 9% × (1 - 36%)

= 5.76%

Now

WACC = 50% × 5.76% + 50% × 15%

= 10.38%
