As per DDM
Price = Dividend in 1 year/(cost of equity - growth rate)
25.81 = 2.29/ (Cost of equity - 0.0316)
Cost of equity% = 12.03
                  K = Nx2
Bond Price =? [(Semi Annual Coupon)/(1 + YTM/2)^k]     +   Par value/(1 + YTM/2)^Nx2
                   k=1
                  K =12x2
983.7 =? [(5.42*1000/200)/(1 + YTM/200)^k]     +   1000/(1 + YTM/200)^12x2
                   k=1
YTM% = 5.61 = cost of debt
After tax cost of debt = cost of debt*(1-tax rate)
After tax cost of debt = 5.61*(1-0.22)
= 4.3758
Weight of equity = 1-D/A
Weight of equity = 1-0.31
W(E)=0.69
Weight of debt = D/A
Weight of debt = 0.31
W(D)=0.31
WACC=after tax cost of debt*W(D)+cost of equity*W(E)
WACC=4.38*0.31+12.03*0.69
WACC% = 9.66
