Answer:

9.44%

Explanation:

Market price = Next dividend/(return on equity - growth rate)

Therefore, we have:

$75 = $7 / (Return on equity - 5%)

(Return on equity - 5%) * $75 = $7

(Return on equity * $75) - (75$ * 5%) = $7

(Return on equity * $75) - $3.75 = $7

(Return on equity * $75)  = $7 + $3.75

Return on equity = $10.75 / $75 = 0.1433, or 14.33%

WACC = (50% * 14.33%) + [(50% * 7% * (100% - 35%)] = 9.44%
