Given the following information about a firm:
  * debt-to-equity ratio of 60%
  * tax rate of 30%
  * cost of debt of 7%
  * cost of equity of 12%,
  The firm’s weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is closest to:
  A.7.5%.
  B.9.3%.
  C.10.3%.
  Solution: B
  Convert D/E to the weight for debt:
  The weight for equity is one minus the weight of debt:
  WACC = weight of debt×cost of debt×(1 — tax rate) + weight of equity×cost of equity
