    The company's WACC is 11.38%

    Explanation:

    After tax cost of debt = 9.6 * (1 - 0.34)

    = 6.336%

    Debt-equity ratio = Debt/Equity

    debt = 0.64*Equity

    Let equity be $x

    debt = $0.64x

    Total = $1.64x

    WACC = Respective costs*Respective weights

    = (6.336*0.64x/1.64x) + (14.6/1.64x)

    = 11.38%

    Therefore, The company's WACC is 11.38%
