What is the cost of capital using mortgage bonds and internal equity?
kIE = [{D0 x (1 + g)} / P0] + g
= [($3.60 x 1.06) / $46] + 0.06 = 0.0830 + 0.06 = 0.1430, or 14.30%
After-tax kD = Pre-tax kD x (1 - t) = 9% x (1 - 0.34) = 5.94%
WACC = [wD x After-tax kD] + [wE x kE]
= [0.4 x 5.94%] + [0.6 x 14.30%] = 2.38% + 8.58% = 10.95%
