    Please help me to calculate WACC (paper notes, chapter 17, example 9):
    XXX is financed as follows:
    Equity – 5 milion $1 shares quoted at $2,5 cum div, on which a constant dividend of 32c per share is about to be paid.
    Debt – $4 milions 8% debentures quotedat 92 ex int.
    corporate tax: 30%
    a) calculate the returns to investors on equity and debt
    answer: return on equity = 14,68%, return on debt = 8,7%
    b) calculate WACC to company
    cost of equity = 14,68%
    cost of debt = 8,7% x 0,7(tax) = 6,09%
    WACC = 14,68 x ……. + 6,09 x …….. ??????
    How to calculate WACC???

    The answer says: WACC = 14,68 x (10,9 / 10,9 + 3,68) + 6,09 x (3,68 / 10,9 + 3,68) = 12,51 % but how was 10,9 and 3,68 calculated?

    Please help.

    10.9
    =========
    cum-div = $2.5, div=$0.32
    so, ex-div = $2.5 – $0.32 = $2.18
    so, market value for equity = 5m x $2.18 = $10.9

    3.68
    ======
    ex-interest = $92
    so, market for debt = 4m x $92/$100 = $3.68

    Cheers,
    Alf.
