Respuesta :

WACC is the average rate that a company expects to pay to finance its assets. The WACC  for this project will be 13.404%.

The weighted average cost of capital (WACC), which includes common stock, preferred stock, bonds, and other types of debt, is the average after-tax cost of capital for a company. The WACC is the typical interest rate that a business anticipates paying to finance its assets.

Because WACC expresses the return that both bondholders and shareholders require in order to provide the company with capital in a single value, it is frequently used to calculate necessary rate of return (RRR).

The model can me modified to determined the cost of equity having flotation cost as follows:  

Cost of equity = D(1+r )/P(1-f) + g  

d- dividend, p- price of stock , f - flotation cost , - g- growth rate  

Cost of common stock  for Kuhn

D(1+r) =1.36  , g- 9.2%, P= 33.35, f-8% g-9.2%

Cost of common stock = 1.36/(33.35× (1-0.08)) + 0.092= 13.404%.
