Calculating Weighted Average Cost of Capital and Economic Value Added (EVA)

Ignacio, Inc., had after-tax operating income last year of $1,196,500. Three sources of financing were used by the company: $1 million of mortgage bonds paying 4 percent interest, $4 million of unsecured bonds paying 6 percent interest, and $11 million in common stock, which was considered to be relatively risky (with a risk premium of 8 percent). The rate on long-term treasuries is 3 percent. Ignacio, Inc., pays a marginal tax rate of 30 percent.

Required:

1. Calculate the after-tax cost of each method of financing. Enter your answers as decimal values rounded to three places. For example, 4.36% would be entered as ".044".

Unsecured bonds fill in the blank 2

2. Calculate the weighted average cost of capital for Ignacio, Inc. Round intermediate calculations to four decimal places. Round your final answer to four decimal places before converting to a percentage. For example, .06349 would be rounded to .0635 and entered as "6.35" percent.
