Answer:

WACC = Ke(E/V) + Kd(D/V)(1-T)  + Kp(P/V)

WACC = 15(60/100) + 5(30/100)(1-0.3) + 10(10/100)

WACC = 9 + 1.05 + 1

WACC = 11.05%

Explanation:

Weighted average cost of capital is a function of cost of common stock and the proportion of common stock in the capital structure plus after-tax cost of debt and proportion of debt in the capital structure plus cost of preferred stock and the proportion of preferred stock in the capital structure.  Ke = Cost of equity or common stock, kd = cost of debt and kp = cost of preferred stock.
