    Debt : equity = 30% (0.3 : 1)
    Meaning to say the total is 1.3
    Then get the % of debt and equity portion and find out how much expected return of the debt and equity. The tax effect merely for debt portion because the tax on interest
    when come to WACC =(1/1.3×15.7%)+[(0.3/1.3×6.5%) x (1-25%)] = 13.2%
