Coupon = 0.084 * 1000 = 84
Yield to maturity = 8.1035%
Keys to use in a financial calculator: FV 1000, PV -1030, PMT 84, N 22, CPT I/Y
Cost of equity = Risk free rate + beta (market risk premium)
Cost of equity = 0.051 + 1.21 (0.131)
Cost of equity = 0.2095 or 20.95%
Total market value of capital structure = 75,000 + 175,000 = 250,000
WACC = (75,000 / 250,000)*0.081035*(1 - 0.4) + (175,000 / 250,000)*0.2095
WACC = 0.01459 + 0.14665
WACC = 0.1612 or 16.12%
