Effect of tax rate on WACC
a. WACC = (0.40)(6%)(1 - 0.40) + (0.10)(8%) + (0.50)(10%) WACC = 1.44% + 0.8% + 5% WACC = 7.24%
b. WACC = (0.40)(6%)(1 - 0.35) + (0.10)(8%) + (0.50)(10%) WACC = 1.56% + 0.8% + 5% WACC = 7.36%
c. WACC = (0.40)(6%)(1 - 0.25) + (0.10)(8%) + (0.50)(10%) WACC = 1.80% + 0.8% + 5% WACC = 7.60%
