a) Computation of Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC):            
Component Cost   Weight Weighted Cost  
Debt 5.00%   50.00% 2.500%    
Equity 14.00%   50.00% 7.000%    
      WACC 9.50%    
             
Project Return WACC        
New Machine 12% 9.50%        
Equipment 8% 9.50%        
             
b) Since New machine is giving return more than WACC and hence New machine should be accepted.
