Please show the solution. Thank you. 1. Company X is interested in calculating its weighted-average cost of capital. Company X has a current financial structure that is composed of 50% debt, 40% ordinary shares, and 10% preference shares. Ignore the effects of cost of retained earnings. The beta of Company X shares is 0.7, and the current risk-free rate of return is 4%. The market risk premium is 6%.

Debt issued by Company C yields an 11% stated interest rate to investors. The marginal tax rate for Company X is 40%. What is the weighted-average cost of capital for Company X?
