    Answer: WACC = Ke (E/V) + kd (D/V) (1-T)

    WACC = 13 (79/128) + 9 (49/128) (1-0.4)

    WACC = 8.0234375 + 3.4453125 (0.6)

    WACC = 10.09%

    The weighted average cost of capital of the firm is 10.09%

    Explanation: Atlas's weighted average cost of capital is equal to cost of equity multiplied by the ratio of equity to value of the company plus after-tax cost of debt multiplied by the ratio of debt to value of the company.
