Lannister Manufacturing has a target debt-equity ratio of .95. Its cost of equity is 11 percent, and its cost of debt is 7 percent. If the tax rate is 24 percent, what is the company’s WACC? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e. g., 32.16.)

WACC= 5.6%

Explanation:

Weighted average cost of capital is the average cost of all of the long-term types of finance used by a company weighted according to the that amount of finance used in relation to the total pool of fund

WACC = (Wd×Kd) + (We×Ke)

After-tax cost of debt = Before tax cost of debt× (1-tax rate)

Kd-After-tax cost of debt  

Ke-Cost of equity  

Wd-Weight f debt  

We-Weight of equity  

After tax cost of debt = (1-T)× Before-tax yield on debt

                                = (1-0.24)× 7

                               =5.32

Cost of equity = 11%

WACC = (Wd×Kd) + (We×Ke)

We= 5%, Wd= 95%

WACC= (5.32× 95%) + (11%× 5%)

        = 5.6%

WACC= 5.6%

answer; /// the best answer to the above question is; the main economic goal that a society consider when deciding the best way to distribute its wealth is equity, this to ensure that all resources are equally distributed; ///(a) (economic equity)

being born in poverty would limit the people's chances, opportunities and benefits.

this happen because of several things, such as:

- poor people tend to gain less access to good education and nutrition. this mean that their chance to obtain high paying jobs would also be limited.

- poor people tend to socialize with other poor people while the rich tend to socialize with other rich people. this means that simply throguh their social circle, rich people would have more business opportunities compared to the poor people.

- rich people tend to have more capital in their disposal. this would benefit them in business since it is far easier for them to fund their business operation compared to poor people.
