Answer: 8.04%

Explanation:

First find the after-tax cost of debt;

= 7.75% * ( 1 - 40%)

= 4.65%

Then Expected return on equity;

=  (Next dividend / (Price * (1 - F)) ) + g

= (0.65 / (15 * (1 - 10%)) ) + 6%

= 10.81%

WACC = (Weight of debt * cost of debt) + (weight of equity * cost of equity or expected return)

= (0.45 * 4.65%) + (0.55 * 10.81%)

= 8.04%
