  2. 11275%
  3. 11325%
  4. 12.250%

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

The cost for equity capital is given as 15%, and preferred stock is 10% The before-tax rate for debt is given as 6%. Which translates to an after-tax cost of 3.9% [6% x (1 -- .35)]. The rates are weighted as follows:
15% x .65 = 9.750
10% x .10 = 1.000
3.9% x .25 = .975
11.725%

The study package is helpful in passing your exam since the practice questions are copied from real exam. But in order to learn the modules in details you need books.
