Answer Preview

After tax weighted average cost of capital of company=(cost of equity X weight of equity)+(cost of debt * weight of debt)

We will not consider tax rate separately because cost of debt has been provided with after tax.

= (12.5(.1/1.40)+(4.6(.4/1.4)

= (8.928+1.314)

= 10.24%

Correct answer will be option ( A) 10.24%
