I’struggling to understand the algebra steps for the formula to work out the ungrared cost of capital. How do you go from: 16.83% = Keu + 0.75 x (Keu – 4.76%) x 1,785/1,400
to
16.83% = Keu + 0.9563Keu – 4.55%
I can understand 0.9563 as that is 0.75 × 1,785/1,400 But i can’t see how we get 4.55% And why do we then add 1 to 0.9563?
