Company A is financed by 17% of debt and the rest of the company
is financed by common equity. The company’s before-tax cost of debt
is 3.8%. Currently the risk-free rate is 1.7%, the market risk
premium is 6%, and the stock has a beta of 2.1. If company A faces
a marginal tax rate of 30%, its weighted average cost of capital
(WACC) should be _____. (Note: Round your answer as decimals with
three decimal places. For example, if your answer is 8.7%, you
should write 0.087 in the answer box. DO NOT write your answer as
percentages as you will be marked wrong.)
