(do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 4 decimal places, e. g., 32.1616.)

companyâs target debt-equity ratio = 0.87323

Given data:

Weighted Average Cost of Capital = 7.90%

cost of equity is 11 percent

pretax cost of debt is 5.8 percent

tax rate is 25 percent.

After-tax cost of debt = 5.8% (1 - 25%) = 4.35%

Weighted Average Cost of Capital = Debt weight * After tax cost of debt + equity weight * cost of equity

let debt weight  is x

equity weight =  1-x

plugging all value

7.9 = 4.35*x*+11(1-x)

solving for x

x = 0.46616

so, equity weight = 1- 0.46616 = 0.533835      {equity weight = 1-x}

debt to equity ratio =
