    WACC = (Ke*E+D*Kd) / (E+D)

    Explanation:

    Ke (Cost of Equtiy) = 11.17%

    Kd (Cost of Debt) = 5.32%

    E (Market value of Equity) = ?

    D (Market Value of Debt) = 65

    If D market value is 31% of Total Market value of company so by grossing up D We get E+D=65/.31=210. So E=210-65=145

    WACC = (Ke*E+D*Kd) / (E+D)

    WACC = (11.17%*145+65*5.32%) / (145+65)

    WACC = (16.2+3.5) / (210)

    WACC=9.36%
