    The weighted average cost of the firm is 13.46%

    Explanation:

    To calculate the weighted average cost of the firm we have to use the following formula

    WACC = After tax Cost of Debt*Weight of Debt + Cost of Equity*Weight of Equity. We have all the details so we can proceed with the formula

    WACC = 10% * (1-21%) * 45% + 18%*55%

    = 13.455%

    =13.46%. Weighted average cost of the firm
