Answer:

Cost of capital=11.18%

Explanation:

First We will calculate the Equity of firm:

Equity= Number of share* Book value per share

Equity= 10,000* $25

Equity= $250,000

Long-term debt=$300,000

Expected rate of return=15%=0.15

Current yield to maturity (rdebt)=8%=0.08.

Value of firm=Equity+Long-term debt

Value of firm= $250,000+$300,000

Value of firm= $550,000

Formula:

[tex]Cost\ of \ Capital=\frac{Equity}{Value\ of\ firm}* Rate\ of\ return+\frac{Debit}{Value\ of\ firm}* yield\ to\ maturity[/tex]

[tex]Cost\ of\ Capital=\frac{\$250,000}{\$550,000}*0.15+\frac{\$300,000}{\$550,000}*0.08\\ Cost\ of\ Capital=0.1118[/tex]

Cost of capital=11.18%
