With the information below, calculate the WACC (weighted average cost of capital). Show all calculations. The company projected its earnings before interest and taxes to be $12 million for the next year with a projected tax rate of 40%. The company's cost of equity was 16%. The company could issue at least $30 million of long-term debt at a cost of 9%. Currently, 75% of the equity has been issued.
