WAAC = (% of debt) x (After-tax cost of debt) + (% of preferred stock) x (Cost of preferred stock) + (% of Common equity) x (Cost of common equity) Plugging in the relevant values into the formula for WACC yields a WAAC of approximately Suppose that Mullens will only accept projects with an expected rate of return that exceeds the WAAC. Which of the following projects will Mullens accept? Check all that apply. Project 1 Project 2 Project 3 Project Cost 1 $3,500 2 $4,000 3 $3,750 Expected Rate of Return 41.00% 38.00% 44.00% Mullens estimates that it can issue debt at a rate of ra = 30.00% and a tax rate of T = 15.00%. It can issue preferred stock that pays a constant dividend of Dp = $15.00 per year and at Pp = $60.00 per share. Also, its common stock currently sells for Po = $7.50 per share. The expected dividend payment of the common stock is D₁ = $3.00 and the dividend is expected to grow at a constant annual rate of g = 10.00% per year. Mullens' target capital structure consists of w, = 70.00% common stock, wd = 15.00% debt, and wp = 15.00% preferred stock. The after-tax cost of debt is approximately The cost of preferred stock is approximately The after-tax cost of debt is approximately The cost of preferred stock is approximately The cost of common stock is approximately The WAAC is approximately Suppose that Mullens will only accept projects with an expected rate of return that exceeds the WAAC.
