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

    WACC = 14.7 ($320,000/$570,000) + 12.2 ($20,000/$570,000) + 11.10 ($230,000/$570,000) (1-0.40)

    WACC = 8.25 + 0.43 + 2.69

    WACC = 11.37%

    Explanation:

    Weighted average cost of capital is a function of cost of equity and proportion of equity in the investment plus cost of preferred stock and proportion of preferred stock in the investment plus after-tax cost of debt and the proportion of debt in the investment.
