Weight of equity = 1-D/A
Weight of equity = 1-0.28
W(E)=0.72
Weight of debt = D/A
Weight of debt = 0.28
W(D)=0.28
After tax cost of debt = cost of debt*(1-tax rate)
After tax cost of debt = 4*(1-0.3)
= 2.8
WACC=after tax cost of debt*W(D)+cost of equity*W(E)
WACC=2.8*0.28+14*0.72
WACC =10.86% = 0.109
