Mathematics · Financial Management
A conglomerate is evaluating its financing strategy for a major expansion project and needs to determine its weighted average cost of capital (WACC). The firm's equity has a beta of 1.4, the risk-free rate is 6%, and the market risk premium is 8%. It also has perpetual debt with a coupon rate of 9%, but the current market yield on similar debt instruments is 10%. Given a corporate tax rate of 25%, what is the WACC if the market value of equity has risen to 700 million while the debt remains at its book value of 300 million?
