10.64%

Explanation:

The computation of the WACC is shown below:

= Weightage of debt * cost of debt * (1 - tax rate) + (Weightage of common stock) * (cost of common stock)

= (0.40 * 8%) * (1 - 30%) + (0.60 * 14%)

= 2.24% + 8.4%

= 10.64%

Simply we multiply the weightage with its capital structure so that the Accurate weighted cost of capital can be calculated
