Answer:

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

WACC = 16(100/155) + 10(55/155)(1-0.33)

WACC = 10.3226 + 2.3774

WACC = 12.7%

Explanation:

WACC is a function of cost of equity and proportion of equity in the capital structure  plus after-tax cost of debt and proportion of debt in the capital structure. Since debt-equity ratio is 0.55(55/100), it implies that the total value of the firm is 55 + 100 = 155. Thus, debt proportion will be 55/155 while equity proportion is 100/155.
