    I am using the M&M prop 2 formula to degear company
    Current debt equity ratio is 20:80, cost of equity is 12%
    Ref Moondog question

    Formula is 12% = Kei + ( 1-0.3)(Kei -4%)(20/80)

    The answer seems to be 10.8% but I am not able to rearrange the formula to get the correct answer. Could you show how the equation is simplified

    Apologies, my maths is letting me down here. Thank you

    12 = kei + 0.7 (kei – 4) (20/80)

    12 = kei + 0.175 (kei – 4)

    12 = kei + 0.175 Kei – 0.7

    12.7 = 1.175 Kei

    Kei = 12.7 / 1.175 = 10.8

    Hope that helps 🙂
