The Paulson Company's year-end balance sheet is shown below. Its
cost of common equity is 14%, its before-tax cost of debt is 11%,
and its marginal tax rate is 25%. Assume that the firm's long-term
debt sells at par value. The firm’s total debt, which is the sum of
the company’s short-term debt and long-term debt, equals $1,135.
The firm has 576 shares of common stock outstanding that sell for
$4.00 per share.
Calculate Paulson's WACC using market-value weights. Do not
round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal
places.
