    WACC = Ke (E/V) + Kd (D/V) (1-T)

    WACC = 16 (100/155) + 10 (55/155) (1-0.33)

    WACC = 10.3226 + 2.3774

    WACC = 12.7%

    Explanation:

    WACC is a function of cost of equity and proportion of equity in the capital structure plus after-tax cost of debt and proportion of debt in the capital structure. Since debt-equity ratio is 0.55 (55/100), it implies that the total value of the firm is 55 + 100 = 155. Thus, debt proportion will be 55/155 while equity proportion is 100/155.
