I need to calculate the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) for the following: Weights of 40% debt and 60% common equity (no preferred equity) A 35% tax rate Cost of debt is 8% Beta of the company is 1.5 Risk-free rate is 2% Return on the market is 11%

A firm currently has no debt and its equity beta is currently 2.0. The risk-free rate is 5% and the market risk premium is 7%. The corporate tax rate is 40%. The firm is going restructure its debt-to-equity ratio to ratio to 1/2 (i.e., they will seT D/E = 1/2). The debt they issue will pay 8% interest. If they make this change, what will the firm's new weighted average cost of capital (WACC) be after the change?
