Answer:
The after-tax weighted average cost of capital for Ronnie's Commics is 9.6%
Explanation:
WACC is calculated by the formula
= [tex]\frac{E}{E+D} * Re + \frac{D}{E+D} *Rd *(1-T)[/tex]
According to the information given in the question,
E+D= $250,000,000 + $750,000,000 = $1,000,000,000
E = $250,000,000
D = $750,000,000
T = 35%
Re = 15%
Rd = 12%
Substituting the values in the formula,
= [tex]\frac{250,000,000}{1,000,000,000} * 15 + \frac{750,000,000}{1,000,000,000} *12 *(1-0.35)[/tex]
= 3.75 + 5.85 = 9.6%
