Answer:

Cost of equity capital can be found by the Capital asset pricing model:

Cost of capital

= Risk free rate + beta * market premium

= 2% + 0.8 * 10%

= 10%

Weighted Average Cost of Capital:

= (weight of debt * after tax cost of debt) + (weight of stock * cost of stock)

= (50% * 8% * ( 1 - 34%)) + (50% * 10%)

= 10.28%
