    2000000*8(1-.25)=12000000 then 300000*$26*11%= 85800
    what you mean when you said""add the two numbers to get the wacc ""

    You didn't submit your calculation, so I am going to lead you to the answer bond $2000,000 x 8(1-tax rate), common stock $300,000 x $26 x 11%, add the two numbers to get the wacc

    The total capital structure is $2,000,000 (bond) plus $7,800,000 total $9,800,000. Calculate debt to equity ratio which is the weight, equity 80%, debt 20%. Multiply the weight for equity (80% x 11%) plus debt weight 20% 8(1- tax rate) will give you WACC
