None of these O d. 20.2%

Respuesta :

15.8 % will be the overall cost of capital for the firm at 8% debt capital and 20% equity capital.

Weight of equity = 65%

Cost of Capital of equity = 20%

overall cost of equity = Weight of equity x Cost of Capital of equity

                                   =  65% x 20%

                                   = 13%

Weight of debt= 35%

Cost of Capital of debt = 8%

overall cost of debt = Weight of debt x Cost of Capital of debt

                                 = 35% x 8%

                                 = 2.80%

overall cost of capital for the firm = overall cost of equity + overall cost of  

                                                                                                    debt

                                                        = 13% + 2.80%

                                                        = 15.8%

the overall cost of capital for the firm is 15.8%
