| Number of outstanding shares | 2500000 |
| Price of each share | Rs. 48/- |
| Market value for bonds | Rs. 30000000/- |
| Risk free rate ( 10 year treasury) | 2.75% |

| Corporate tax | 22.25% |
| Investor risk premium | 5.60% |

Solution
The solution is mentioned below −
Market value (A) = no.of shares * price => 2500000 * 48 => Rs. 120000000/-
Determine company debt = 30000000
Cost of equity = 2.75% +5.60*1.25 => 0.0975
Cost of debt = 5.90*(1-22.25%) => 0.046
-
Weight of cost of capital = (R/V*Ke)+(D/V)*Kd*(1-tax rate)
=(120000000/150000000)*0.0975 + (30000000/150000000)*0.046
= 0.078+0.0092
= 0.0872
= 8.72 %
