Net proceeds = R1 000(1 − 0.05) − R20 = R930
After-tax cost of debt = 9.10% × (1 − 0.30) = 6.37%
Cost of retained earnings = [R10(1 + 0.03) / R90] + 0.03 = 14.44%
WACC = (6.37% × 0.40) + (14.44% × 0.60) = 11.21%
Range R400 001 – R708 333
After-tax cost of additional debt = 10.00%
Cost of retained earnings = 14.44%
WACC = (10.00% × 0.40) + (14.44% × 0.60) = 12.66%
