Solution
First we will calculate price of bond
N= 6*2( semi annual Payment), I/Y= 6.00143745%/2= 3.00071873%, FV=1000, PMT= 10%/2*1000= $50
Find PV?
PV=Price=$1199
Value of debt= $1199*300
Value of debt=359700
Value of equity= 10000*22.5=225000
Total Value of Capital=Value of debt+ value of equity+ value of prefereed shares
=359700+225000+92150
Total Value of Capital=676850
Weight of debt= 359700/676850= 53.14%
Weight of equity= 225000/676850=33.24%
Weight of preferred shares= 13.62%
Cost of preferd shares= dividend per share/market price- flaotation cost
=11/(97-5%*97)
Cost of preferred shares=11.94%
WACC= Weight of equity*Cost of equity +Weight of preferred shares*Cost of preferred shares+ weight of debt*after tax cost of debt
=33.24%*16%+13.62%*11.94%+53.14%*(1-40%)*6.00143745%
WACC= 8.86%
